Pull Over! Let the CEO Drive!
CEOs are in charge of large companies. They are in the driver’s seat because they can steer people in the right direction.
The way CEOs think is different. They have specific skills, traits, and qualities that set them apart.
Anyone can learn and model the traits of a CEO.
Cultivate these traits in yourself. It will benefit all areas of your business and life, even if you’re not the leader of a big enterprise.
Lead yourself well and you will be able to lead others too.
Vision from the Driver’s Seat
The windshield is big. You can see for miles. CEOs don’t look in the rearview mirror. They focus forward on what’s ahead.
They take the wheel and accelerate into the future. They share their vision with others. They know the roads to take to steer their company into growth.
Imagine how that feels. It’s exhilarating to ride along and be a part of the growth and achievement ignited by the CEO. How inspiring!
It’s time for you to take the wheel, be the CEO of your business. Map out your vision. Start your engine and drive.
Inner Strength
It takes inner strength to handle criticism and failures with composure. CEOs have total power over a company. Their decisions make a tremendous impact.
You may now understand why it can be lonely at the top. People tend to envy the power of the CEO. Those are the ones who sit on the sidelines and criticize.
The ability to ignore the critics is crucial. Inner toughness provides you confidence to make decisions without hesitation and handle criticism with grace.
Hungry to Learn
Leaders are hungry. They are eager to learn about anything and everything. That hunger and curiosity drives them.
CEOs can pull together information from anywhere. They make decisions based on deep knowledge of their business, their customers, and the market.
We learn by trial and error making mistakes along the way. That’s okay. It’s all part of the process.
It’s important that each failure is seen not as a disaster but as a valuable opportunity for learning and growing.
Clear Communication
Clear communication skills are required to lead, inspire, and direct others. Teach and be teachable. Communication involves giving and receiving messages. Give details. Be specific.
Share your ideas and vision. Give others the chance to participate and articulate their thoughts as well.
Listening is a skill. It’s important to understand what people are saying to prevent misunderstanding and making assumptions. Some people are thinking what they want to say next instead of actively listening first.
The CEO is also a facilitator. This enables all the different departments to talk to each other effectively.
When you are not clear on what was said, ask questions. Repeat back in your own words how you understood it. That helps foster clear communication and comradery. Hopefully, it also dispels defensive responses.
Scenic View from Above
The view from above is grand. The CEO sits at the top and gets the scenic view of the entire landscape of their organization. They can see how all the pieces fit together, which affords them the ability to make important decisions.
The people below have their own tasks. They take care of the details.
It’s like a chess game. The CEO has a strategy and moves the pieces around.
Together it works because the CEO sees the big picture.
Quick Decisions
When you know what’s going on with your business and the market, you can make decisions quickly and decisively. That’s the key of how CEOs do it along with their years of accumulated experience.
CEOs keep an eye on their vision for the future. They think strategically and consider each possible outcome.
Don’t get stuck in overthinking. Learn to make smart, quick decisions. If it turns out to be the wrong one, make another decision. You’ll get it right as long as you keep moving.
Passion
Passion ties everything together. CEOs are passionate about their business. They love what they do. Do you?
Why does passion matter? It keeps you motivated and inspired and drives you to put in the work needed to make your business succeed.
Now you’re in the driver’s seat. Go burn rubber with passion.
