Leadership: The Tough Job of Top CEO

In my opinion:

A CEO is the seasoned Leader who shall know when to go forward & when to retreat!! Be responsible for what his/her action.

As Sun Zi said:

An Army Commander's Must Know when to seize the Opportunity & Take Risk!!

A Hero need to know when to go forward & when to retreat!!



Leadership: who wants the tough job of top CEO?

The global transition to an information-based economy is making top leadership jobs even tougher than in the past, reports Geoffrey Colvin in Fortune. According to the author, this shift creates two key challenges for today’s leaders:

The outdated business model: in the past companies could rely on the same business model for decades. Now business models, which are no longer tied to physical assets, are changing continually and leaders need the courage to face this reality.
Increased customer and investor power: Access to better information on prices and global overcapacity in many industries has shifted the balance of power firmly in favor of customers. Investors, more likely to be big institutions than individuals, are also gaining influence.

The CEO position has been further weakened by the growing power wielded by boards of directors and highly skilled employees as the global talent war intensifies, explains the author. While these leadership challenges may lead to company decline in some cases, there are also great comebacks waiting to happen, notes the author. Leaders like Steve Jobs at Apple Computer and Lou Gerstner at IBM should be an inspiration, encouraging managers to embrace challenges, rather than fear them, concludes the author.
