Research has repeatedly demonstrated that business leaders with high empathy scores tend to be more attuned to their customer base’s needs, more innovative and more capable of motivating, supporting and leading their employees.
For today’s CEOs, personal development is not a luxury, it’s a necessity – not only to make the company better, but to make themselves better.
Studies show that half of first-time CEOs will fail to be successful in their role. Why? Most of the time, failure in-role is due to a failure to manage change.
The bar is being raised, and the standards of evaluation for great leadership will only get higher.
Many of us have also seen magic happen on leadership teams when CEOs shift their view of vulnerability from one of weakness to one of strength and courage.
Emotional intelligence is what allows leaders to get everybody marching in lockstep, feeling they are part of a larger whole.
Resumes can never replace self-knowledge and the ability to communicate one’s strengths and weaknesses.
Urgent optimism is the singular critical trait I believe all CEOs share. It’s more than glass half full, it’s more than seeing the world in a positive context. There is momentum, a drive to make an impact and to make that impact now.
Much like a corporate mission statement, a thoughtful, well-written personal mission statement becomes your individual definition of success—and the compass that navigates you toward your deepest motivations.
