CEO Characteristics

How does the average CEO treats his subordinates?

I think there are several key ingredients to being a great CEO.

1. Self-assuredness. A great CEO is a mature, well-rounded individual who knows his or her own value and is comfortable in his or her own skin. This allows the CEO to treat subordinates with respect and dignity, since the CEO has no selfish need to demonstrate superiority. He or she will actively seek feedback and will value a point of view that is contrary.

2. Farsightedness. A great CEO can look beyond the here and now and see far into the future. He or she can predict with great certainty what is coming down the pike and how best to move forward.

3. Enthusiasm. A great CEO loves what he or she does and communicates this enthusiasm constantly. He or she sticks to things and doesn't run at the first sign of adversity. He or she loves a challenge and will be the first one in line to scale the mountain. The great CEO takes care of himself or herself physically and emotionally, and is then available to back up his or her staff.

4. Conviction. A great CEO must have the courage of his or her convictions. He or she has a personal and professional set of values that he or she never compromises -- no matter what.

5. Responsibility. A great CEO doesn't pass the buck or duck the hard choices. He or she takes full responsibility for whatever happens, and holds his or her staff to the same high standard.

Poor & Weak CEO's are unwilling to do the hard work, take responsibility, or make decisions. They delegate the difficult or unpleasant tasks and make sure that they always have a scapegoat around to fix the blame on. They are concerned about themselves to the exclusion of everyone else. They treat their staffs like slaves or like non-entities and they have no personal loyalty. They are also seldom dealing directly with their entry level employees. They usually are not to go the field to understand their concerns.

The Characteristics Lead to Success

Have you heard about the movie series called "MAD MEN"? It was top hit channel broadcasting lives in cable television quite some time ago. The show, though was shown the example of what to do and not do to be successful or in future. Do you know what is talking about? The "Mad Men" show series, it purposely to pinpoint some leaders characters how to lead them to successful. It's awesome. Let's us to see further what is all about.

"Mad Men" features an ensemble cast representing several segments of society in 1960s New York, although it focuses more on Don Draper. Mad Men places emphasis on showing each character's past and their development over time. It could be addressed a list of difference leadership character in the workplace. And no doubt, we are staying in the competitive edge nowadays, how do you use your strengths especially your main characteristics to take advantages.

Let's talk about the reality in workplace nowadays. Do you believe every employers are expecting employee to strive for execellent in their work tasks and job responsibities? It's indeed truths. We can't expect the employer gives us the numerous benefits, shall we ask ourself what can we contribute to employer? It's top management voices when the employees have such a demands. We can foresee some interesting characters when you are in the field of workplace. Some characters are cold-blooded, demanding bosses, self-initiatives, self-driven and so forth. It's total countless. No matter what how big of changes or small changes, we must able to show our characteristics to please people all times.

Set The Standard

From the day that you knew every people have their own standard, what standard of level you want to be? Don't you ever ask me what type of standard level, corporate or living? I can say it's both! I don't ever believe you if you are telling yourself in your mind, I don't care. I just want to be who am I now. You might be be wrong - right. You are determined your living. Some older often said, "Just to be who you are!".

I remembered that 1st day when I was started worked with somebody, I don't care who are they and not even bother myself who am I. I did my job and at the end of the day you paid me. I was slowly changing my mind, I was wrong. It's not truths. It is totally not what I wanted to be. I know where the standard I aim for. It doesn't matter how tough of the job, I however will work as harder as I can to get to the level I keen for. I set a standard in my mind although it can't happen in short period of time but it is my goals to inspire myself most of time. Standard is a behavior where you hold yourself too. What you thought about now onwards, your standard behavior always reflect your core value. You recognize the core value because you always know your limitations and bottom line.

When you set standards, you determine quality, how well you will do something, or what you will become in the process of achieving something. The standards you set will measure the goals you reach. Consider standards your QA (Quality Control) tool. Standards add a layer of quality to your goals. Here is a statement of standard: "Write one SearchWarp article this week that has no misspelled words and no grammatical errors." as expert said.

I have pointed out that you use standard for evaluate your goals and objectives in your life's. Why it is essential to evaluate by yourself cause you can generate the fresh ideas, advices and suggestion to maintain the higher standard as you can. Without standards, you may reach your gaols with swallow. In reality, this is strive your goals with no spirit. Overall, you can see the clearer pictures what the standard is indicated on what perspective how well you are and how you growth. Standards highlight who you are, or who you are becoming, hopefully a better, more mature you.

Standard. Never set a goal without it.

Go Beyond The Rules of Thumb

A rule of thumb is a principle with broad application that is not intended to be strictly accurate or reliable for every situation. It is an easily learned and easily applied procedure for approximately calculating or recalling some value, or for making some determination as according to Wikipedia explanation. Do you aware what does it mean to you? Let's me briefly clarify what basically mean to you and me. In our life, we tend to have our principles how to view at the life different perspectives. What are you bottom line when things turn up with unexpected? Now sounds pretty familiar on what the rules of thumb to you. For me, I extremely love these theme where it truly go deep in my inner heart how am i look things differently and my thoughts is full of inspiration.

Can we go beyond the rules of thumb in our life's? I guess should ask you this tricky question, "Why not?" We can go beyond rather than remaining the move in the actual place. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm, as expert said. The chances would not move forward to you without strong reasons, this is all about the effort which you have planting from beginning until you can see your great result at the end. Life's must penetrate certainly, it would not grant you with wrong perception especially you wanted to change your recent reputation whatever you thought of something must change.

Naturally, a lot of things can go beyond your ability if you are willing to go an extra miles. try to think-out-of-box. The plenty gold chances are waiting for your at the destination which you are desire to reach your destiny. Work out things where you never done. If you keep on asked," what is my rules of thumb?" It doesn't matter how you think, the essential of thoughts you must when shall changes make you differently. You can develop your own added value once obtained the achievements after break through the rules of thumb.

Learn Continuosly, Improve Continuosly

According to Wikipedia, kaizen (, Japanese for “continuous improvement”) is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. I love such a strong word. Everyone of us can choice does - no - to apply this kaizen throughout their entire life.

Why should we continuously to improve and learn other form of resources to enhance our value? It could be reasoned to survive in this competitive edge. Hence, the more you learn and the more you improve, and indeed the more knowledge you'll gain despite that the skills which you generated can be applied even though the economy is downturn to affect all part in our life. Take a good example, a blog, most of entrepreneurs today's have been starting created their own blog to sell their entire ideas and perception through a number of channel to survive. Did you do that too? If yet not started, I strongly urged should start one blog. You might said,"the blog maybe not the successful source to gain advantages." It could be yes - or - not. Not exactly wrong by the way. However, the learning and improving attitudes are the essential for you as well as communicating between social group and employee-employers with a solid understanding.

Climate changes, it can says surrounding atmosphere has been changing from time-to-time. If you think you are too old to change, it is because mainly you are fear to change. You are staying within the comfort zone where it is a barrier to encourage yourself to change. Eventually, this is usually the fear of entrepreneurs why they have stopped being creative and developed. Why not you are dare to try in fact, it is not as hard as we think when you are really discover the new things. After things have been happened, and then you'll look back and say,"why didn't I do this earlier in the first place?"

Keep kaizen in you daily life. It ultimately can gives your strengths when you have faced any challenges. If you think negatively can't be grow because certain excuses to stop you continuously improving, I suggest you to view things positively and ensure you think it is not as hard as I think. Apart from that, you must concentrate and focus on whatever you have today. It is much better than your thoughts negatively. It is O.K and F.I.N.E.

Dig Your Well Before You Are Thirsty

Before you've decided to do one thing, however, what are the consequences did you thought about? Have you thought about what ae the pros' and cons' of making decision? What I would like to address to this theme, well, we always are planning to do things before take a step further to realise our dream. On the other words, I wish you can get prepared before action. "Well prepared is a must to realize your dreams. " Obviously, many people do understand that they will prepare well before they have done things in their minds. This is to avoid any mistakes and errors if without any preparation. It will surely to cause time consuming and cost effective.

Sales personnel, for example usually must know what are their objectives monthly. They should know what are target markets they aimed for and well prepare the effective strategies to stretch for their best to achieving monthly target. If, indeed they couldn't understand that these minor preparation is basically it is extremely essential to plan early before the day is end. The sales ae leaving behind, target unable to strive and so forth. This is also give huge impact on their minded how to look at wll planning differently.

It can means differently when the people in difference positioning. Asides from that, it mean also "networking". If you have a plenty ideas in your mind to start off the new business, how are you going to approach the people to venture to your business with well prepared proposal or business plans. It's all about networking. What I noticed those are successful entrepreneur in searching resources to ensure their ideas able to sell easily to public. They will seek for opportunity before the opportunity comes to them. If you're well prepared, a expert leader said "It will save you in today's shark-eat-shark economy if you plan when things happened."

24/7 Philosophy in Our Life

How does this 24/7 works for you? Have you implemented this philosophy no matter which current position you are in? It's tough to say that everyone of us must adapt to this philosophy, due to certain circumstances of our profiles and backgrounds, we used to work as much as we do. It certainly beyond our control. I do guess some of you may like your job very much rather than the rest are work for salary. They are not even committed to the current responsibility, they usually will be leaving their work sharp at what the corporation business time.

According to my personal observation, my former director has been worked with one large corporation over 37 years where recognized throughout the world . That was his first job and ever last job for him. He never quit his job although he went through a number of challenges. Failure was never stopped him to stretch his best to management. He always aimed as high as he can. He did not look down himself even tough his profiles did not as high as certain top ladders. He also has created a miracles made his department established after assigned by management as head of department. He loves his job where he was willing to work 24/7 , 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. How did he do it? Passion and persistence maybe can refer it for his behavior and characters. He often told me, when you have facing any challenges on your job, do not ever think to quit or give up. You may proven them, they are wrong. You're the best person they are hired for. Plenty of opportunities to get promotion, do not so desperate. Changes are always come after a person whom work really hard and willing to go extra mile to learn something new. Thus so far, I think he also one of my good mentor last time.

Among corporate ladder, you can't really expect something you are confidence to obtain it. It will change their mind from time-to-time. The important is always knows your goals and watch for your success with countless of being failure and 24/7 days learning and experience. Failure is only one stage before you success. You can often figure out what should you do to improve your shortcomings and weaknesses. Stop learning, Stop growing.

Never Look Back & Never Give Up!

Success is a journey through thorns. Path is not filled with roses to you. You have humps ahead of you. Your car may get break down. Gas gets over. You seem to get totally lost on the way. Winners never give up. They take it as a challenge.

The game is still going. You are still in the team. Time is running. Plenty of opportunity left before that final whistle ends the entire show.

Remember: BEHIND EVERY SUCCESS STORY, THERE IS A STORY OF A FAILURE. BUT FOR WINNERS, FAILURE IS ONLY A STAGE BEFORE SUCCESS"

The Eighty-Four Problem

Everybody's got problems! said Buddha. i read this article this morning ago, it's telling me that everyone of us confirms has their own problems especially we have eighty-three problems. What does it mean? Why we can't have eighty-two, eighty-eight problems instead of eighty-three problems? I still keep this question in my mind now, the real is I am still finding the facts how shall we monitor the eighty-three problems.

Guess what, the main concern is how many of us do not have problems. So, the actual is everyone do not wants the problem effected them in emotionally. You may figure out the solution to have the eighty-four problem. Want to know more about eighty-four problem, aren't you? The answer is "You want to not have problems anymore." When we work hard to find the good solution to delete the bad emotion, news, to affected in our live, we should think on the eighty-four problem. Sounds maybe inspiring, but the question is how to work it out? Let's try this effective ways to reduce your problems.

Taking action - The problem of course doesn't go away naturally, we should take action to solve it. Work something out to frame the problem itself, it makes you think positively. Our thoughts will follow our action how we look at the problems happen to us.

Trying until you succeed - Since we birth, we born to be problem solver. When we hungry, we cried. Problem solved. In our live, we used to failure a lot of times. Are we falling down? Answer- No. We must try to get up again and walk through our next journey to achieve our goals.

Turn negative into positive - Always bear in mind that we never ever treat our problems are effected our living. Be control. Be positive and monitor any problems. We can treat it as challenges in our live.

Can you always down-to-earth?

I have experienced once when one of ex-colleague solved the customer problems and received the compliment letter has been wrote by customer. After that, I was held a department meeting to share this success story among their colleagues. He hand over the compliment letter to you at the same time, he spoke a few words to inspire his colleagues.

And then, I wrote a simple and concise to address how did he help the customer. I used "down-to-earth" statement. It's simple but the meaning is strong. I just wanted to thank him because he is being down-to-earth to help the customer with his sincerely heart. It's priceless, I think. To him, he just few letter words with nothing but he himself will find how to improve his shortcomings with such good behavior as being salesperson in coming days. For many people, they eventually work hard, but some of them do not observe the successful person how to they react to get the compliment from someone else. It's pretty easy to say but it hard to do.

How many of you can be always down-to-earth? Don't you even help many people without asking for return? You have done it! A friend, for instance she is always helping a lot of person without expect any return. I believe it is kind of behavior and character. If you think you able to help someone, please help with sincerely heart. Not pretention. Just look at your friends, how many times you can observe he/she helps anyone with sincerity heart? Perhaps it could once awhile.

Through my experiences, I helped many people with my heart. But it doesn't mean I could help without expect nothing. Certainly, I did sometime. I hope myself can willing help many people.

Passion Is The Key of Success

Do what you love and the money will follow. You’ve heard it before — from your mother, college professor and Oprah. Its that old adage that means follow your heart and don’t worry about making money because that will take care of itself.

His passion able to give me a positive input and influences for everyone knows him. This is may caused his business networking getting widen and larger. He is currently doing marketing consultation, leadership expert speaker in marketing and sales industry. He loves his job so much nowadays although he generate less income rather than with regular and fixed with 8 working hours a day,5 days a week. Moreso, he also manages to represent the university to attend the corporate conferences over the country. Despite that, his passion influences his behavior to start his goal for publishing his book yearly. Now, he has been publishing more than 5 books. Honestly speaking, he is my respectful mentor now.

Some of you may be agree with him this is what good examples called. In order to be successful, don't let the fear to stop your dreams. Fear can be keep us from taking that leap. Do avoid these happen to you, and then you must visualise our dream in writing, picture and drawing. These are few effective ways to obtain your dreams.

Do start now, you do let the people surround you to share with your dreams, your aspire words to one step closer to your final destination.

Change We Believe In

How does change is powerful enough? I found that if you don't change, you're staying behind. If you don't change, you're one step behind the people always change. If you don't change, you're always not recognized. Yet you'll find many things why grow so fast and everything more in advance.

Regardless of what change we are talking about, you must alert that change doesn't mean you should change your physically. I'll say more on mentality, emotionally and thoughts. Every behavior we have, we can change from time to time, if we consider are not good enough. I noticed that many of us maybe lack of knowledge and skills, some of them may alert but not all of them. We, therefore should always believe of the power of change. It's extremely unexpected result will arise if you are dare to change.

Obviously, our thought comes with a number of pictures everyday when we find something very interesting and new to us. Would you be really explore to know what exactly? Yes, we do! The reason caused of the thoughts make us to know more , however we do not mean to change due to used to it as current behavior. It's being adapted long time. In this circumstances, we prefer do not change because we observe many of people don't change immediately. As President of US says, Change we believe in. Change can brings us happiness, peaceful and cherish. And so I am not going deeply, if you believe in, change will brings you unexpected result.

Dreams are important

Do you want live below your means? I truly wish the answer, "NO". As leadership expert often says, "We should not ever live in no dreams, which consider you have no path of life." In other words, your living with no right direction, no way to guide you to reach your path through life. I can view some of you may know what I am trying to address, but some of you not.

I heard a best friend of mine, He often to share a thought to me, "You should dare to dream, even dream big, Big dreams." We should not limit our dreams as far as your concerns are totally important.

No one ever can take away your dreams, when someone does take away your life. I hope you can take a short after this to write down what you want to do 1 year later? Please write more specific and then you need to share your dreams to anyone you know, no fear and just tell them, what is your dreams. As mentioned in earlier, you ever never to underestimate yourself. We now discover the things which we have never done before. In my memory, I did remember a few great words from my personal guru's, he often to tell me, "Just Do It." You ever try and then you can get the result out of your expectation.
