Not A CEO Yet? What Can You Do

September 8th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

I recently had the following question from one of the readers “I have tried my level best to rise to the position of CEO but in vain. What does it take to become one? I hold CPA, MICM,MKIM and a Post graduate diploma in Marketing Management. 23 years of working experience in seven organisation.”

This type of question raises another question – what is the core driving reason you want to be a CEO?  Is it for the power, the money, the control, the desire to make things happen, the ability to get things done?

If your answer is along the lines of power, money, control etc then you are probably in the wrong game.

If the answer is about making a difference, challenging yourself, building something amazing then being a CEO is one way you can do that. You can also achieve the same result by being a leader at any level of a business – no matter the size of your team.

Now if you really want become a CEO, there are a number of ways you can do it or at least move in the right direction.

Firstly, you can always start your own company. That is the easiest way but also, in many ways, the most challenging as you have to have a business idea and you have to deliver to your shareholders – you!

Another way is if you have enough money, you can buy an established business and appoint yourself CEO. However this is not really an option for most people as they dont have access to the necessary funds.

If you are wanting to be the CEO of an established business you will have to do that hard yards.  My preferred approach is to focus on delivering results and demonstrating that the you are a true leader in a business.  Often CEO’s select themselves by their actions rather than by their words.  Some people prefer to play the politics in a business and use this approach to move ahead however unless they are also good at what they do, they will be found out.

Finally, you seem to have more degrees than i can poke a stick at.  Well formal education doesn’t necessarily mean you will be a good CEO, it just means you have spent a lot of time in a class room and have a good education. It is what you do with them that will determine your future.  some of the characteristics that make a good CEO, at least from the knowledge perspective, are an understanding of finance, ability to develop and implement strategies (innovative ones are often better), good HR skills – especially people management, they probably need some operational skills – most likely in marketing and sales, and of course innate leadership skills are definitely important.

Bottom line … forget about the title and do your best every day – if it makes sense, you will become a CEO or what ever you want.

    I think you missed one important aspect (in my point of view), in which you are very good at… Communication… being able to communicate not only well and clear but as well as to inspire and motivate your audience (whoever that audience is). In that aspect, you’re one of the best (and this blog is a proof of that).

    I’m always looking for career advice for myself and my clients. I work at a staffing company in Boston, Hollister Staffing (www.hollisterstaff.com) and people want to know how they can work their way up. There is helpful information in here for people that want to become CEO’s, and also ambitious people that are taking the steps to get to that big office on the top floor. Thank you so much for sharing your advice!

    I think you are right with this observation. Communication is a critical skill for any CEO. You may have a great vision for a business however if you can not communicate it in a clear, simple and compelling manner, then you will likely not win the hearts and minds of the team needed to deliver the vision.

    Therefore one thing an aspirant CEO can do it work on their presentation skills.

    Hello-

    I appreciate your writing. I was an AED in a nonprofit for 15 years and was recently downsized. I am interested in a more challenging position, and have been seeking a CEO position – to no avail. I hold a MSW, (that may be viewed in the wrong light for a CEO position).
    I have provided leadership in long-term growth in three critical areas – creative strategies to expand community awareness and funding; execution and implementation of service delivery and best practice; and programmatic development. I initiated several programs by understanding the market gaps and was able to provide the organization with fee for service revenue that allowed income for other activities. I managed a $5M budget and had a staff of 35. I lead by example both in action and values; ensuring a common vision and a sense of teamwork as we accomplished our mission.
    I would love to gain entrance into the for profit sector, but all doors continue to close. In the nonprofit world, I have been narrowed down several times to 2 of us but haven’t landed the job, I have been out of work for 9 months. Can you provide any additional advice on how to move forward. I have been considering getting my MBA, but not working puts a damper on continuing college.

    Thank you again for your insights, they have been helpful. I appreciate any additional assistance you are able to provide.

    Best Regards,
    Sharon
