Communication is the heart of your executive leadership strategy
It has never been harder — or more important — to keep employees, stakeholders, and clients on the same page. Axios HQ helps you do it.
It's time to rethink how you lead an organization
You could have the smartest people, strongest strategy, and endless capital — but your team is set up to fail without clear communication.
That's hard enough to do, but when we sit down with founders and CEOs, many admit their reality is even worse: They're set up to lead in an era that no longer exists — the in-person workplace. And while they spend most of their time communicating, no one has ever taught them how to do it well.
What we're hearing from CEOs
When you are at your busiest, make time to communicate. In the end, it will save you time because your people will stay focused on the right work.
AI can radically transform your communication
There's no replacement for critical thinking.
But modern brain science can tell us what keeps busy readers better engaged. And cutting-edge AI can learn everything about it — then help shape your internal communications into their most impactful form.
Axios HQ is the tool helping founders and CEOs modernize how they lead.
Modern CEOs trust Axios HQ
Whether you're writing an all-hands update or a board report, HQ will help you break through the noise. These are just a few of the leaders who use it.
“For three or four months I tried to copy Axios without using HQ. We failed. I needed a system that could teach us the style and help other people on my team learn it, too. I’ve become a big fan since we signed on, and I'm rolling it out in more areas of the organization.”

How do you communicate with C-level or executives leadership?
Executives are busy. They don't need fluffy, time-consuming emails. When communicating with C-level individuals, consider these tips:
-
Keep it short. Save time by getting to the point quickly.
-
Be clear. Don't hide what you're asking or looking for.
-
Put the most important items up front in case they scan your email or don't have time to get to it all.
-
Don't be afraid to ask clarifying questions as needed.
-
Follow up as needed.
