You are a successful CEO. You know how to lead others to successful outcomes and results. Our research shows that leaders who develop sound behaviors and then turn them into daily habits succeed far more often that those who do not. You, as a successful CEO have developed a disciplined process for analyzing situations and producing successful outcomes.
Here are three habits you as a successful CEO now possess:
1. You know when to say no to an opportunity
You have a clear vision; you know what add value and what will not. Clarity of vision allows leaders to adhere to the stated outcomes and values with principles to accomplish it despite temptations that might lead them off the path. Sometimes it helps to clear state what the organization is not and what it will not do for reference along the way to success.
2. You bring balance to short-term and long-term
Effective leaders know you should not chase short-term goals at the expense of long-term outcomes. If you do this, you can lose sight of the big picture. You have short-term things you need to achieve which are benchmarks to the final destination, but don’t lose focus of long-range objectives. Chasing short-term monthly or quarterly numbers can de-stabilize the entire organization.
3. You let go of what you can’t control
You are not a micromanager. That is not how you got to the top of your organization. You got there because you know you need to set a clear direction and empower people to succeed and to fail. You know you need to constantly be a clear communicator on where we are going and why it makes sense.
