Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders. That is the question that many a business is forced to ask at some point during their life cycle. My question is this…since when have fear and avoidance become prerequisites for success as a CEO?

My advice to CEOs, regardless of whether you’re running a start-up or a Fortune 500 company, is to go see things for yourself. The arrogant CEO doesn’t value the input of line and staff management. The Arrogant CEO : These CEOs believe they can will their view into reality in spite of circumstances, situations, or events.
