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? That is the question that many a business is forced to ask at some point during their life cycle.

But CEOs are just as human as the rest of us. Today, if people have the ambition and energy to achieve great success in any field, it’s unlikely that this ambition and energy will just stop when they reach 65. No one wanted to become a “used to be,” in the sense of “Didn’t you used to be a big CEO?”

Nothing signals leadership trouble more than an executive who can’t make decisions. Everyone knows you’re a lousy leader if you can’t make decisions. Sound harsh? Perhaps so, but that doesn’t mean it’s not the truth. If you can’t make decisions, you can’t get things done.
