Why use the template?

This may be the most important skill to learn as an executive.

You have to learn to how to write an executive summary that clearly communicates your business initiatives or proposals.

Whether you're presenting to your CEO or board members, they need to be able to quickly understand 5 key things.

Your objective, key findings, recommendation, benefits, and timeline.

Once I learned this, everything changed for me. I was able to get key initiatives and projects approved more easily. I was able to invest in new technology that I previously couldn't get approved. I was able to make new hires that weren't initially budgeted for.

I built this Executive Summary Example Template in Google Docs, so that you can develop executive summaries that get projects approved for you.
