StanislavShekshnia of Insead researched to know whether “CEO specific scholar training” can
be introduced, if yes what would be the syllabus curriculum. Interviewing
various global leaders the “unorthodox insights” of this research are as
follows:
- There should not be “CEO exam”. Experts believed that none could be qualified enough to administer such a test, nor could there be a standard CEO curriculum;
- A test would be back ward looking and CEO are always forward looking.”
- It would be wonderful to have a Renaissance man with the complete range of necessary skills and knowledge; but such a person simply does not exist.”
- No one can qualify as a CEO for life either;
- All the interviewed CEO agreed that their ob require lifelong learning.
This
research identifies some essential traits and competencies fundamentals to
success as a CEO especially the following three:
- Natural qualities;
- Knowledge acquired from formal education and
- Competencies developed.
Diego
Bolzonello says: “You are born with some of it, but you must learn it.”
Qualities
such as curiosity, ambition and passion are considered indispensable traits
though formal education and on the job training also are essential components.
Schools
for CEO curriculum should include subjects relevant to future CEO’s, such as
developing a vision, selecting talent, enabling performance, managing in
crisis, communicating with an entire organization, personal discipline and
using language that business people understand hard skills to complement the
soft skills needed in the job; Help CEO to assess their potential to make a
data based decision about that choice and to develop a specific plan to achieve
it.
