A company has only one peerless role: Chief executive officer. It’s the most powerful and sought-after title in business. Behind the luster and glamour of this role, it comes with often all-consuming pressure, loneliness, stress, and immense responsibility. CEOs are always under the lens of scrutiny from directors, shareholders, customers, and employees, making it one of the most challenging positions despite its financial and social rewards.
A CEO is a quintessential transformative leader, who is strategic, pragmatic, and invests in the development of their people, their employees, and their customers. They steer the organization toward success. They oversee overall operations, execute strategic initiatives, allocate resources, and lead the executive team. Their role demands exceptional leadership, sharp decision-making, and a clear vision to drive the company forward. They must possess strong communication skills, inspire teams, and cultivate a thriving corporate culture.
According to McKinsey’s Report, “The mindsets and practices of excellent CEOs” six core elements define the CEO’s title: setting the strategy, aligning the organization, leading the top team, working with the board, being the face of the company to external stakeholders, and managing one’s own time and energy.
