3 Types of CEOs Which One are You?

• Not all business CEOs are the same. They have
  different areas of focus, different
  decision-making skills, and different methods of
  dealing with issues in the business. Its because
  of this fact that some companies fail and other
  succeed, some thrive and flourish while others
  remain at the same level for years. When you
  understand that three types of CEOs exist, you
  can learn how to use this information to improve
  your business.

The three types of CEOs are

• Entrepreneur  the risk taker, pushes the
  envelope, wants the business to grow
• Operator  manages the business, manages the
  people and the systems, keeps order and control
  and provides good quality
• Artist  focuses on the quality and staying true
  to the original vision, all about the service or
  product and concerned how things are supposed to
  be done
• None of these types are bad, and all are
  important. However, a successful business
  requires all three components. When it lacks one,
  it doesnt perform at the level it is capable of.

How These Types Work

• People are primarily one type of CEO. Their
  makeup is about 70 for the type they are born
  with. This type comes naturally for them.
  However, they also have a second type inside
  them, which makes up about 20 of their
  personality and decision-making strategy. The
  third type is also inherent in everyone, but only
  in minute amounts.
• Imagine you have a business. Perhaps its a
  service-oriented business. The entrepreneur will
  begin looking for ways to increase revenue and
  expand the business. The artist will focus on
  staying true to the original goals of the
  company, while the manager will use information
  to determine when and how to expand while
  providing quality service to customers.

Discovering Which Type You Are

• Its important to understand which type of CEO is
  strongest in you. You also need to know the
  second type, so you can develop it and enable it
  to become stronger. However, the third type will
  never come naturally to you. Instead, you must
  hire that person to keep the other two aspects of
  your personality and decision making in line.

• Remember the third type of CEO will not always
  agree with you. Their job is to counterbalance
  you in decisions to ensure the success of the
  business.

So, what does a company look like with only two
of the CEO types in play? Here are a few examples

• Operator first, artist second company is
  profitable and stable, business functions fairly
  well and offers great customer service, but it
  doesnt grow as the owner, you can work normal
  hours but never take a long vacation.
• Artist first, operator second company barely
  makes a profit or is operating in the red,
  provides a good product or service but doesnt
  always get good customer reviews, as the owner
  you care about doing things right more than you
  care about customer service.
• Entrepreneur first, artist second the business
  has grown too fast and you dont have good
  control, company is up and down on profit and
  results, the owner can leave for a long vacation
  but the place falls apart during that time

• Bring in the third part and youll have a
  successful company, which is stable and
  successful, turning a good profit and ready for
  expansion. However, youll analyze the company
  and the market to determine when and how to
  expand rather than just jumping in as the
  entrepreneur would.
• Whether youre starting a brand new company, you
  currently have one floundering along, or your
  business has grown stagnant, you will benefit
  from this analysis. Determine which type of CEO
  is missing and hire that person.

• For people just starting out in a new company,
  they may not have money to hire a person to
  maintain the third role. However, they can surely
  find someone in their life who is the missing
  link. It may be a spouse, a family member, or a
  friend, but someone will bring the
  decision-making skills and personality you lack.
• Just remember you wont always agree with that
  person, and they arent there to agree with you.
  They are part of your team to balance you out and
  help your business to grow.
• The first step is to determine which type of CEO
  you are. The second step is to identify the
  second type and work on learning how to better
  utilize it. The third step is to find someone
  with the skills and personality of the third type
  and hire them for your company. With this formula
  in place, your business will be one that succeeds
  and thrives.
