Making sound decisions is a skill set that needs to be developed like any other. As a person that works with CEOs and entrepreneurs on a daily basis I can tell you with great certainty that all leaders are not created equal when it comes to the competency of their decisioning skills.

Even the most savvy CEO may have blind spots in his or her skill sets, core competencies, or voids in the org chart which can also cause blind spots. I could go with this line of thinking, but I’ll assume that the point has been sufficiently made.

The simple truth is that all great leaders are highly skilled in matters of delegation. The number of activities a CEO takes on can certainly vary based upon skill sets, stage of corporate maturation, and the talent level of the rest of the executive team.

Developing effective conflict resolution skill sets are an essential component of a building a sustainable business model. It is one of those skills that I have to keep aware of – keep working on. Unresolved conflict often results in a loss of productivity, stifles creativity, and creates barriers to cooperation.

It is my experience that they either lack the personal skill sets, or haven’t built the right executive team to lead change, they just don’t recognize the need for change, or they just don’t care. So why is it that so many CEOs shirk their responsibility, stick their heads in the sand, and avoid making necessary changes?

Great CEOs possess the ability to refine their thinking and leadership skills to reflect the evolving needs of the enterprise and the changing global business climate. Stating that a CEO of a start-up should operate with the same term limit constraints of a CEO of a Fortune 500 company is very unrealistic and dangerous thinking.
