		<description><![CDATA[I received an email from a reader in Europe asking a question about decision making.  A CEO needs to be seen as decisive and equally important is the speed that decisions are made.  However, to achieve this, the CEO needs to balance gut feel with facts to make the right decisions.

		<description><![CDATA[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.

Read on for some other thoughts on this topic...

		<description><![CDATA[I received an email from Rachel in the US recently and i think it poses a good question that i would like to open up to the community - What are the top 10 issues facing a team of C-levels? 

Rachel has started the ball rolling by suggesting the following - Regulatory/Compliance, Ensuring a reliable supply chain, Improving stockholder value, Increasing Brand Equity, Operational Excellence

I have added my top 5 issues that i faced when i was at the REA Group and now it is your chance to let the community know the issues you think C Level Management face.
