CEO Qualities: Leadership


One More Snippet on CEO Qualities

Lead like a Lion

"If you build an army of 100 lions and their leader is a dog, the lions will die like a dog. But if you build an army of 100 dogs and their leader is a lion, all dogs will fight like a lion."

CEO Qualities: Demonstrate Compassion


Last but Not the Least: Demonstrate Compassion

Above all the qualities mentioned in our previous blog posts, one more most important quality a CEO should possess/develop is being compassionate. He must have an ability to empathize.

Develop a strong understanding that your organization is made up of people- the human beings who may suffer, who may have pains just like what you too can experience. Employees at different levels may fall terminally sick due to illness like cancer, they may meet untimely death causing immense hardships to their families, and they may meet other kinds of tragedies. In all such and similar situations, bend the rules in favor of your employees making things easier for them. That's like being an excellent boss rather than being a stiff necked, rule bound, rigid, super boss of the organization.
