We’ve all heard them before, that ever elusive yet seemingly ever-present list of common characteristics of an effective CEO. And sure, maybe some of those things on that list are traits that you subscribe to on a regular basis. Many may not seem like take-it-or-leave-it type traits, but far too often many of us tend to stray more towards a certain segment of the list and toss the others to the wayside – and often for good reason. After all, not everything works as well for one person as it might for another.
Ok, so what is our point? At the risk of sounding hypocritical, we’ve found that the following 5 habits are things that, no matter the situation, the company, or the industry, all CEOs should aspire to include in their own list of effective CEO characteristics. Take each one as you will, but perhaps shortening your own list will help highlight just how important (and unimportant) some of the common traits are.
Sure, maybe these are habits that you already have, or maybe they are ones you’ve tried and disregarded before. Whether you choose to listen or not is totally up to you – after all, it isn’t as if this is the first list of its kind. However, even if just one thing gives you pause, we’ve helped a little, no?
