Big Red Car here on a beautiful, sunny Thursday. Ahhh, on Earth as it is in Texas, y’all.
So, I’m at church on Sunday listening to the sermon – I love and desperately need a good sermon – and it inspires me to think about some of the traits of great leaders – not “good” GREAT!
I come up with four traits which seem to separate the great from the good and the mediocre.
Big Red Car here. Are you tired of hearing how great the weather is in the ATX? Well, too bad. Right now it is 40F with 70F to come fluttering in this afternoon.
Sorry, I will not rub it in because it’s going to be cold for the rest of the week until next Wednesday. Brrrr! Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Ahhh, it’s sunny and crisp here in the ATX. Oh, it’s about 55F right now but it’s headed to 72F before the day is over.
Ahhh, on Earth as it is in Texas.
Big Red Car here. It’s zero dark thirty here in the ATX and it’s a bit cool for us hot house creatures. It’s right at 39F with a forecasted high of 43F and a low of 24F. Brrrrr!
So what does it take to be a successful CEO? You’re going to have to conduct some experiments — experimentation, Old Sport.
Big Red Car here. Hey, it’s damn chilly here in the ATX — 41F and that may be the high today. Brrrrrr, ya’ll!
Don’t fret, Mothah Nature is coming with her sunshine by midweek and it’ll be back in the high 60’s.
Big Red Car here. Looks like the rain may be done with the ATX but who really knows? We loved the rain and the cool temps — Hell, it was 71F yesterday afternoon.
Well, yes, it was raining at the time. But still — 71F in mid-July. Well, that’s a bit of “all right”, no?
Big Red Car here. Been enjoying cooler temps and a bit of rain here in the ATX. We love a bit of July rain because it is so damn rare. More on the way today. Eeeehaw, ya’ll!
So The Boss was thinking about what makes a great CEO and he has focused on decisionmaking. Hmmm, so, Big Red Car, what the Hell does that mean?
Well, Old Sport, listen and I will ‘splain it to you.
Big Red Car here. Another great day in the ATX and why not? So we’ve been chatting about what makes a successful CEO, those critical character traits and skills that seem to be possessed by those rare beasties. Things that others can emulate and copy on their way to success. [Hey, “monkey see” “monkey do” is a legitimate personal growth strategy, haha, Big Red Car.]
One of those elements of success at the CEO level is the ability to organize things in an orderly manner and to harness the clarity of that organization to provide insights as to how to proceed — how to take the next step. In many ways, organization is the prelude to preparation. Preparation is prelude to action.
Organize, prepare, act — hmmm, sounds similar to crawl, walk, run. They are related, Old Sport. Oh, yes, they are.
