The Role of a CEO
The role of a CEO primarily involves establishing a clear vision for the organization and facilitating its execution. This includes not only defining the direction of the business but also ensuring that the entire team is motivated and aligned to achieve that vision. A significant challenge faced by many CEOs, especially in family-run or founder-led businesses, is the difficulty in evolving from the initial success methods that got them started. The understanding that what has worked in the past may no longer be viable for future growth is crucial, as is the need to cultivate trust within the organization to delegate responsibilities effectively.
