Want to learn what it takes to hold a position as a CEO? There are 8 ways to improve your job skills as a CEO:


  1. Leadership- In order to be a CEO, you need to show the leadership experience with your current employees at your current job. Read books about leadership. 
  2. Time Management- As a CEO, there will me multiple deadlines to meet. Are you ready to be pressured with deadlines? By knowing what projects to prioritize, and how to meet the goals, you will success in this field. You will also demonstrate that you are organized and flexible to tackle any additional deadlines. 
  3. Oral Presentation- You will have multiple meetings with other company CEOs that you will have to communicate across any information that is required to share. You will have board meetings, sales meetings, staff meetings, etc... Your oral presentation should be clear and to the point so there is no misunderstanding or any room for miscommunication. 
  4. Sales- To work as a CEO, your job is to make sure that the company is earning high revenues. It doesn't matter what industry. In any industry it will be your job to be on top of the game to meet he quota for the month, quarter, or year. 
  5. Writing- CEOs write all sorts of letters to their prospects, employes, customers, etc... Of course you will have an assistant and other staff to help you with this. But if you are illiterate in your resume, cover letter, thank you letter, emails, etc., then you missed the opportunity to prove yourself as a CEO. 
  6. Math -As mentioned before, sales are important which ties with math. You need to know your numbers, shares, percentages. Let's say your company wants to earn 67% in sales by the end of the year, you will need to know what the number means. If you don't know math, you can't be a CEO. 
  7. Delegating- With so many deadlines, your time managements is restricted. Just delegate work as much as you can to keep your staff busy. Know your employees' strengths and weaknesses, so you will assign a job that meets their skills. Let's say a person that is not computer savvy, can't search for you prospect, but he is good in people skills. That means he is extrovert and would like to do sales instead. Then give him the amount of sales you would like him to close per month. That way he is happy, and you are happy. 
  8. Computer Savvy In this days, you have to be computer savvy. You need to be familiar with latest apps and technologies. You will be doing work mostly on computers. If you don't know, then this position may not be your call. Unless you hire a full time personal assistant full time, then may be you can still get a way with it. 
So as you see, a lot of work needs to be improved if you would like to be a CEO. Read books, follow other CEOs on social media. Read CEO Magazine to see how others are succeeding in this field. Connect with them on LinkedIn. and watch YouTube for CEO trainings. Most importantly, network with other CEOs online or on conferences or summits.
