Lesson 6 – The CEO and his Team

By Elias MosesCEO Lessons

The CEO of market relevance bites the first bullet by reaffirming on the Vision, Mission and Values of the the company to start with.

The CEO defines the OBJECTIVE (what he aims at) and OUTCOME (what he arrives at) at the very start of his Leadership Journey with his his team. The team is mentally prepared with clear cut objectives at the very start of the journey.

The CEO could use the following three approaches in translating his story into action

  1. The top-down approach
  2. The Bottom-up approach
  3. The Hybrid approach for review

Education of the team is the first and format priority. The team should never be surprised by happenings in future.

Simple rule is ‘Never take your team by surprise’

The CEO could use the following questions to share his story

  1. Why do we exist?
  2. How do we behave?
  3. What do we do?
  4. How will we succeed?
  5. What is most important right now?
  6. How do we team up?
  7. Why we don’t go back?
