Steven Van Alen: “Here Are 5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Became CEO of Sleepyhead
In my opinion, being a CEO is the most challenging job one can pursue, which is probably why they are paid so much. Most employees have just one job such as admin, Facebook advertisements, or sourcing. But, a CEO wears multiple hats where they have to manage and oversee all the employees and all the processes. It can be difficult to figure out a way to manage everything without getting too burned out.
As part of my series about the leadership lessons of accomplished business leaders, I had the pleasure of interviewing Steven Van Alen. Steven is the CEO of Sleepyhead and is passionate about both sleep and mitigating the effects of poor sleep can cause on college students. Throughout the years Steven has cultivated an understanding of business which has been infused in his company: Sleepyhead.
