A Self-Assessment: CEO: What do your Key Execs want from you?
Wednesday, July 6, 2016

To a person, each executive saw areas for significant CEO growth. So, when you have a quiet minute, reflect on your CEO performance in light of the input from Key Executives like yours.
What do Leadership Team Executives want from their CEO?
1. Lead Us – we seek direction that is clear and inspiring.
a. Develop a written plan 3-5 years out and include me in that planning; don’t keep us in the dark.
b. Be consistent; don’t play favorites.
c. Stay focused; too many ideas and too many priorities.
2. Grow Us – we’re hungry for ways to improve.
a. Meet with me regularly; I’ve got ideas to share.
b. Give me regular feedback – both positive & negative; I want to get better.
c. Trust me; when you get in my “swim lane”, it feels like I’m not trusted and I hate it!
3. Build a Great Team – make it my best team ever!
a. Be intentional about the culture you want.
b. Get rid of the dead wood; it drives us crazy.
c. It’s not always about you; build a great team and let them run the company.
In the work I do with Leadership Teams, I can tell immediately how well the CEO occupies his/her seat. Teams sparkle when they are “captained” well. Engaged, energetic and optimistic teams are simply a reflection of you. So, how are you doing? What would your Key Executives say?

Simply put, your company profile is a professional introduction and aims to inform people (primarily prospective buyers and stakeholders) about your products, services, and current status, yes -- but that doesn't mean you should settle for something boring. Frank Leta Acura
