I wrote the following piece for my great friend and colleague, Jimmy Quinn's company, Meridian Productivity, Ltd.  They have since posted it on the web site and blog.  With their agreement, I have now posted it on my blog.

What are the most In-Demand Skills and Traits that a CEO should have?

By
  Recently I have been doing a great deal of research for a Zoom Class that I am doing relative to the CEO role.  Having reviewed literally hundreds of articles, I came up with the following list of Skills and Attributes that all CEO's should theoretically have.  This list came from me and the authors of the various articles I have read.  The compiled list of 23 traits or skills, in no particular order, are: 1)    Active Listening 2)    Empathy 3)    The ability to share messages and make complex ideas understandable to everyone (storytelling). 4)    Strategic Thinking Skills 5)    Creativity 6)    The ability to inspire and convince others. 7)    Flexibility 8)    The ability to turn information into action. 9)    Project planning 10)  System development 11)  The ability to assess an employee's strengths and weaknesses. 12)  Time Management 13)  The ability to build and inspire trust. 14)  Strong communications skills 15)  Positivity 16)  Reliability 17)  Management skills (Fi

Do You?

By
 Do you procrastinate?  I know I do it more often than I would like to admit.  We all have a tendency to procrastinate.  Very recently, I saw this photo in a LinkedIn post.   To be legally clear, this is a billboard type advertisement by Nike. They are very famous for their "Just Do It" slogan.   Now they have two and they have combined both into an even more powerful expression. The definition of "procrastinate" from the Oxford dictionary is: "to delay or postpone action; put off doing something."  It is like the old colloquialism "Manana."  Mañana is tomorrow in Spanish.  We all do it to one degree or another.   From a business perspective, to procrastinate is a terrible situation if you or a great many people in a company or organization do it.  If it occurs too often or too much, then what does it do:  it has the probability to DELAY MOST EVERYTHING.  Is that what you really want?  No, I doubt it.  It very well may hurt you, your colleagues,

POSITIVE CONFRONTATIONS!!

By
I have for the longest time been a believer in positive confrontations.  All too often, supervisors, managers, and yes even some executives only use or know how to use negative confrontations.   That is a tragedy and travesty.  This is not just using them in a business environment, but also in our own personal lives.  We are quick to send reviews or complaints to companies or businesses but all too often we seem to feel we do not have the time to say a good word when it is deserved.  The problem is all around us.  We are just too quick to correlate the term "confrontation" with the word "negative."  It shouldn't be that way Positive feedback and confrontation should be important and necessary for any successful person.  I found the enclosed brief post when looking at a particular blog.  It summarizes much but not all of what I believe in positive confrontations .  Take a look and let me know your thoughts. Have a great week. Bob  July 26, 2021
