Suggestions for C-suite executives Be open about your own learning and development. Don’t think for a second that leaders throughout the organization don’t notice the absence of discussion about c-suite development and learning. Your support of learning and development at all levels in the organization is crucial.

Trust me when I tell you that being out of touch is never a good position to find yourself in as the CEO. The harsh reality is that great numbers of leaders continue to operate in a vacuum by sequestering themselves away in the corner office and attempting to lead from afar.

However I believe the more important emotional trait for CEOs and entrepreneurs to gain mastery over is what I call EC or emotional control. After all, being in touch with your emotions, as well as being in tune with the emotions of others is an important trait for any leader to possess.

I’m a huge advocate of refining initiatives that allow any level of talent to be developed to the maximum potential. Leaders and non-leaders alike need career-pathing, training and development. I’m just not a believer in attempting to label someone as a leader, and develop them as such when they are clearly not.

My engagements with CEOs often focus on helping them to embrace change through disruptive innovation. While much has been written about corporate vision, mission, process, leadership, strategy, branding and a variety of other business practices, it is the engineering of these practices to be disruptive that maximizes opportunities.

Not recognizing, developing, and rewarding talent is the fastest way I know of to drive talent out of your organization and directly into the hands of your competition. When an organization promotes based upon tenure, and not based upon recognition of talent, merit, performance, etc., the company is not leveraging its true talent base.
