“Humble,
collaboration, reflective, self aware and adaptable–some of the key behavior
traits used to describe a good CEO. Rahul Yadav CEO of Housing.com appeared to display
none of these so he was unanimously sacked.HR Experts said companies look or
confidence with humility in CEO candidate. CEO is a brand ambassadors for the
organization. A CEO brings speed and growth to a business but he needs to
possess certain key behavioral traits and prime among them is humility. A good
CEO is on who has been hardened by real life challenges because humility is the
resultant fruit of this hardening. Yaday was considered to be arrogant and
impulsive.
A
strong understanding of ethics would distinguish a good CEO from the bad.”Ethics
are not just about doing the right thing but are under pinned by the ability to
delay the gratification of temptation. Temptations are not just material but
many times they can be about satisfying the ego and can take the form of
lashing out or being competitive, driven by a desire to bolster low self
esteem.” Gurprriet Singh , GM & Head YSC India.
Singh
said organizational practices like ‘360” and-performance feedback regularly
provides awareness of behavior but miss out on what lies beneath. “Leadership
is a lonely pursuit and leaders are usually starved of insightful feedback. Creating
mechanisms that enable leaders to receive counsel and feedback in a manner that
is supportive is critical. This is a role that can be played by a board member
or by an executive coach/counselor.” says Singh.
For
a start up CEO, balancing the input of external advisors with internal parties
and developing synergies between the two—a core competencies—is critical. (YSC
