A person who is employed must have high expectations that they will one day direct their entire organization, whether they own the organization, or it belongs to another. Unless you have high expectations, you will not reach the pinnacle of an organization. There is no danger in thinking big. You will act according to your thinking, which can make you the CEO of an organization or not.
As you journey through this book, there are many important things that you will need to know. These will help you to become an effective chief executive officer. You are not born with a chief executive officer attitude; you earn it. There is much effort required to reach that position. You must be diligent, persistent and a vital team member.
Many persons feel that in order to become the chief executive officer, they must know all aspects of the organization. While that may be their view, it is not a fact. When you become the chief executive officer, you will not know everything, but will have to depend on others to provide you with critical and accurate information, so that you will be able to make important decisions for the organization. The chief executive officer must work with their team to obtain quality information, so that when a decision has to be made there will not be any regrets related to inaccurate information.
This book provides a systematic review of many departments or units that operate within an organization and shows the involvement of the chief executive officer (CEO) in each of those departments. The bird’s eye view provided here will help a CEO become more aware and understand how to become more effective.
Many of the departments and functions mentioned here are modern and will reflect the current activities they perform. Only once the CEO becomes familiar with the department and their responsibility will they make a strategic decision for the sustainability of the organization. Sometimes they might have biases related to their studies and areas of expertise, but this book synchronizes all those concerns so that a CEO will deliver an excellent performance.
There will be challenges during the occupancy of such a prestigious office, but some of those challenges will not last forever. The CEO ought to be willing and able to change the negative behavior of employees within an organization into a positive future. This requires much work, but it is possible.
You can help other persons to become effective as you spend time duplicating yourself. If you are excellent, you will not be out of work, so teach others what you know.
To become the CEO an organization is searching for, read this.
