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.

A CEO’s ability to perform effectively is so closely tied to their ability to form a clearly articulated vision, evangelize the vision and then to execute on their vision, that no real discussion on executive leadership should take place without an emphasis on vision.

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. Furthermore, a business plan, strategic plan, marketing plan, capital formation plan, exit plan, etc., are also not business models. I Think Not.

I have witnessed on numerous occasions CEOs with average, or even sub-par performance histories fare well because they possessed great messaging skills. By contrast, I have also watched CEOs with excellent performance histories not do so well because they did not possess the messaging skills necessary to keep stakeholders engaged.

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.
