Trust me when I tell you that being out of touch is never a good position to find yourself in as the 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.

Meg Whitman, 51, has been quoted saying a CEO should never stay with the same company for more than 10 years, because by that time the company needs a fresh outlook. She joined eBay in 1998 and now, 10 years later, she’s following her own advice and leaving the company she helped drive to online success.

This is so much the case that some CEOs will avoid restructuring initiatives at all costs. My question is this…since when have fear and avoidance become prerequisites for success as a CEO? What do great CEOs do when the business model, the strategic plan, and the revenue hurdles don’t seem to be in alignment?

As much as you may wish it wasn’t so, as a CEO you’re really only as good as your last decision. 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.

As a CEO, your board can be one of your greatest allies.

However I believe the more important emotional trait for CEOs and entrepreneurs to gain mastery over is what I call EC or emotional control. Great CEOs lead by example…they set the tone for others in the organization by demonstrating proactive, rational, logical and balanced thinking as opposed reactionary emotional thinking.

Think about it…when was the last time you viewed a negative soundbite of a CEO who was engaged in active listening? A key point for all leaders to consider is that it’s impossible to stick your foot in your mouth when it’s closed. The next step in the process is learning where to apply your new found listening skills.
