Over the years I’ve met more than a few CEOs who paid little or no attention to their board of directors, only to find themselves wondering what went wrong as they were being ushered out the door prior to the expiration of their employment agreement.

This is the definition of presence, and it is only when we operate in the present that real creativity, growth and innovation occur. Operating in excess of that threshold will cause increased stress, lack of attention to detail and errant decisioning. Is your rubber-band stretched so tight that it’s about to snap?

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?

Also, a common response is to confuse a sales engine, fulfillment process, operational process, technology platform, or any number of other areas as business models, where this is not the case.

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. They make bad decisions.

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.
