I believe the same characteristics that are present in the heart of a warrior are also present in the most successful executives and entrepreneurs. There are many so-called management gurus in today’s politically correct world who would take great exception to what I’m putting forth in today’s post.

The reality is that great leaders all seem to possess an innate sense of timing such that most executives have a very clear understanding of the critical role timing plays as a survival skill at the C-suite level. So much so, that if you don’t think timing is everything - think again.

Okay, so you founded the company, but does that mean you should also be the chief executive? Perhaps you were the right person for the job initially, but has the company outgrown your management ability?

Let me give you a great example…It is not at all uncommon for an executive to tell me that his/her business doesn’t really have any competition. What I do vehemently dispute is the assertion that a particular nuance is reasonable justification for flawed business logic to prevail.

It is my experience that they either lack the personal skill sets, or haven’t built the right executive team to lead change, they just don’t recognize the need for change, or they just don’t care. So why is it that so many CEOs shirk their responsibility, stick their heads in the sand, and avoid making necessary changes?

The fact of the matter is that senior executives who rise to the C-suite do so largely based upon their ability to consistently make sound decisions. Those leaders who avoid making decisions solely for fear of making a bad decision, or conversely those that make decisions just for the sake of making a decision will likely not last long.
