CEOs Look for This Personality Trait in Their Leadership Candidates
Published: Thu, 05/12/22
Hello !
If you've got this trait, then CEOs are looking for you as part of their leadership team.
"Only 14% of CEO's have the leadership talent they need to grow their businesses." They are seeking "unconventional talent" that include leaders with a STRONG PERSONALITY to...
Deliver Growth
Attract Talent
Retain & Engage Employees
HOW THIS CAN REPRESENT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
If you value long term-success and your ability to differentiate yourself, you can speed up your career trajectory and attain bigger results if you invest in yourself and challenge your status quo.
Leaders that have a "strong personality" present confidence. They know their value and their impact to improve the company's business.
EVOLVING YOUR CAREER WITH A STRATEGY
Can you answer "yes" to these traits and be willing to develop them further?
Communicate genuinely and confidently
Make decisions, including those that have some risk
Accept recognition and take credit you deserve
Proactively network---engage with employees, colleagues & peers
Speak up and stand your ground with stakeholders and colleagues
Demonstrate resourcefulness and build your peer network
Consistently mentor and coach your teams

Professional development is an investment in both time and money. Doing it alone means that getting to the next step will take longer, which also costs money from lost opportunities.
DEVELOP YOUR CAREER FASTER
2Actify clients have tried it alone in the past, but when they begin working with us, they quickly experience the benefits of IDENTIFYING THIER VALUE and STRATEGIC NETWORKING. What surprises them is learning about the small changes that make a big difference in their success and how fast their career trajectory can move. With a partner and a step by step plan, they unwrap what's been
buried and project renewed confidence as a leader.
For those that take the actions, results happen faster, they are rekindling relationships, getting referred to hiring managers, and their interviews lead to offers---usually multiple offers for advanced titles and big jumps in compensation.
