7 Traits You Need To Be A Successful CEO

One of the biggest concerns I have when looking at businesses, particularly businesses doing seven figures and above, is that the vast majority of them are operating without a CEO. Now, it's not that there isn’t somebody who calls themselves the “CEO” - because there always is. It's just that the person who calls themselves the “CEO” is so busy doing everything. They're so deeply entrenched in the day-to-day operations that there is nobody actually architecting the future of the business. There's nobody overseeing the development of the organisation, the team, and the infrastructure that sits within it, because everybody's busy living in ‘doing’ mode. I get it, at the beginning, when you’re in startup stage this is almost inevitable, but the issue is too many CEOs remain in this ‘doing’ mentality, even when they’ve reached a point that they have the resources to deploy against employing people. It’s easy to fall of the trap of being the ‘doer’ or ‘technician’, particularly if this is how you have always operated, but if this sounds like you, you’re not operating as effectively as you could be. So the question is: What does it take to be a great CEO that can step out of the day-to-day operations of your business and focus on being the leader of your company? In this podcast, I share 7 traits that separate a good CEO from a great CEO.
