Be the CEO of your Job
If you want to be THE CEO someday in your career, don't wait for the official title to appear on your business card, you start by being the CEO of your current responsibilities, your Job.
So what's the ultimate job of the CEO?
CEOs deliver the dream of any organization. They deliver the dreams while making all the stake holders both internal and external to the organization work for him. The CEO doesn't take anything neither for granted nor for an excuse, there is a job that needs to be done and it got to be done well. In the process some people may get upset or disappointed, but that's the irony of CEO's job.
Isn't that the same expectation from every member of your organization? I guess Yes. So if all the employees take full responsibility of their Job and stay committed to deliver come-what-may, what they will be doing? They will be doing a job of a CEO. As mentioned in earlier paragraph, in the process you will be disappointing some people but that should be okay because you can't keep everyone happy.
If you learn how to be the CEO of your Job, you don't have to wait for the title to appear on your card. Why should you really go that extra mile? Actually you are not going any extra mile, you are just trying to deliver what's expected of your job within a stipulated time. Assuming we are technically fit for the job, most of the time we miss out on the deadlines for ...
- the lack of commitment to deliver
- for the lack of understanding what needs to be delivered by when
- for the lack of communication and team work.
The CEOs clearly know what to be delivered by when and by who and how. So be the "CEO of your Job", if you want to get there faster.
Cheers!

7 年Every employee of the the organization has the potential to live up to the expectation of the company regardless of the tag of CEO. Many people do not know the creamy word "CEO". But they do their work with animal spirits .it has to be automated provided the employers consider the concept "Employee first".
