My role: CEO
The CEO is THE BOSS. And I mean the boss. The CEO is the great overlooker, decider and finalist. With the power to change and decide you have to be careful. What we do is mainly overlook and instruct all that happens. I need to make sure everything is in order and my employees are working hard. What we do can be hard, but it’s fun making the decisions. If you are a shy person or a person afraid to fail you will not be a good CEO as if you don’t make mistakes you can’t learn what works in your business. Also don’t overthink or over schedule yourself.
It can stress you out and make you very cranky and make hasty or bad decisions, so make sure everything is cool. What being a true CEO is mainly about learning from the past in what works and doesn’t, -not everything works but not everything fails, great communication for making the decisions and talking things over and understanding. You have to understand yourself, your work, your business and your employees. Understand the rights of your people and what you have to do.
Know what to do. If you have no experience in leadership or a position of power you can’t be a good CEO. Without experience you’ll have no clue how to handle your employees, so know what's ahead of you and be prepared.
If you want to be the CEO good on you, but beware of the responsibilities, stress and great power. It's fun too and you get LOTSA money, but don’t take it all to your advantage. You have other people and development to worry about. Try new things and take risks, but know what you’re doing.
