How To Be A Good CEO
CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is the highest ranking
corporate officer (executive) or administrator in charge of total management of
an organization. An individual appointed as a CEO of a corporation, company,
organization or agency typically reports to the board of director. In British
English, terms often used as synonyms for CEO include managing director (MD)
and chief executive (CE).
Have a good leadership
Role model, to earn
respect, it’s important to show that you know your stuff. People will respect
and listen to you if they know you are knowledgeable in your field. Discuss your
experience, without showing off, let your employees understand how long you’ve
been in the business and what you have achieved while you were there.
Be clear about your rules and
expectations
Whether you’re the
CEO of a company or the manager of a team of four people, it’s important to
make your expectations crystal clear from the beginning. And If you're working on a project, your goals and
expectations should be clear from the beginning so your employees are
motivated, not confused. It is preferable to have your goals down in written
form.
Straight to the time
management
Prepare yourself
first, by taking 30 minutes of your time to fix yourself something to eat and
relax. Then make a list of the tasks you need to accomplish. But before you can
manage your time you need to know what it is you must manage. A list of tasks,
from the mundane to the critical will help you get a handle on what needs to
get done. And Sleep for 7-9
hours every night. Getting the proper amount of sleep will help keep you
alert and energetic, able to think clearly, and function at a high level.
Have a good plan for
future
Many of these future roles might overlap with the roles you
have right now. These roles are the nouns you would want to use to describe
yourself at the end of your life. Consider the roles you are playing right now.
Are any of them unnecessarily stressing you out. If so, that role might not be
one that needs to continue through your life. Prioritize these roles from most
important to least important. This exercise will help you to determine what you
really value in life and what is most important to you.
Develop a foundation of
streght
No company or CEO
is successful without a strong management team, each member must be a leader
that knows and is accountable for his/her job responsibilities (and does not
try to do the work of other team members). Quality managers in turn, know how
to mentor and acknowledge the accomplishments of their own staffs in order to
keep them motivated, involved and on track to meet the business goals of the
company.
Be the chief strategy officer
Take charge of the
direction and long term goals of your organization. Develop the ability to see
the future, to think 4 steps ahead of your competition. Make sure that you and
the rest of the organization become obsessed with the “one thing” that will
make your company untouchable. Make it your business to be a ruthless
executioner. It’s about competitive leadership, not competitive advantage.
Customers are at the
core
Successful CEO look
beyond their raw technology and focus on finding ways to help customers solve
their problems. They describe their products in terms of how they address the
needs and challenges of their customer’s instead of listing product capabilities.
Great CEO’s use their own customers’ words and verbiage, through weekly
meetings with customers, CEOs have an endless supply of anecdotal situations to
share with stakeholders that help create a better product and a more thorough
understanding of the customer requirements for a successful business
relationship.
Sense of humor
If
your website crashes, you lose that major client, or your funding dries up,
guiding your team through the process without panicking is as challenging as it
is important. Morale is linked to productivity, and it’s your job as the team
leader to in still
a positive energy. That’s where your sense of humor will finally pay off.
Encourage your team to laugh at the mistakes instead of crying. If you are
constantly learning to find the humor in the struggles, your work environment
will become a happy and healthy space, where your employees look forward to
working in, rather than dreading it. Make it a point to crack jokes with your
team and encourage personal discussions of weekend plans and trips. It’s these
short breaks from the task at hand that help keep productivity levels high and morale
even higher.
