CEO/Chief Executive Officer

The Chief Executive Officer is the highest-ranking executive in a company. The CEO has responsibility for the overall success and livelihood of the entire organization and is the ultimate authority to make final decisions for a company. CEOs set the tone, articulate the vision and navigate the course for their company.

Traits of a CEO: According to a recent study by Harvard Business Review, not all CEOs share the brash stereotypes of the fiery temperament of a visionary like Steve Jobs, or the competitive drive of a leader like Elon Musk. The study demonstrates that the following traits are more strongly related to best-in-class CEO leadership than traits like extroversion or self-promotion:

• An ability to embrace appropriate risks

• A vision and bias toward acting and capitalizing on opportunities

• Intensity

• An ability to prioritize and focus on substance

• An ability to know what one doesn’t know
