am the CEO ….

‘I just do Things Right’

I

Just being the CEO of a real, growing company is a huge accomplishment

‘Starting a thriving business is massively difficult, so if you've managed to get one off

the ground, you've already demonstrated a high level of acumen and skill’

But what is it that

allows some leaders to

‘rise even higher’?

5 things that separates the top 10 percent of CEOs from

the rest ?

The first essential skill is perhaps the least controversial ‘the ability to survive’ and adapt to the inevitable ups and downs

‘AirBnB took 1,000 days for its business to start working. Imagine if they gave up on day 999? The best CEOs find a way to dig in and keep going even when it seems everything is going

against them’

1.Resilience

2.INTEGRITY

Integrity NOT out of a sense of morality or decency. Nope !!! The need to have integrity is far more practical than that

‘The best CEOs are survivors and it's really hard to survive if you have dirt in your closet or treat people differently behind closed doors than you do in public’

Everyone knows that CEO isn't a job for slackers , to be even mediocre at the job you have to be willing to put some serious time and energy into it

But the best of the best aren't just garden-variety workaholics willing to throw themselves into whatever job is at hand

‘Truly exceptional CEOs are driven to extreme effort by passion for the particular project they're working on’

3.Specific passion

4.CRAFTINESS Startup pros typically cannot solve problems by throwing money at them. This perpetual

resource deficit requires creative and frugal solutions that are often counterintuitive and never obvious In order to thrive with these constraints

Exceptional startup CEO needs to be "wily" in his estimation, it's essential for a leader to have ‘street smarts’.

CEOs do a lot of two things — deciding and then convincing You can be great at the first and still not get very far if you're not great at the second as well, so you can get diverse parties, from investors to employees, to go along with your vision. For this

reason, responder after responder mentions some form of persuasiveness, storytelling, or conversational finesse as a marker of an exceptional CEO

5.The gift of gab
