Savage counsel – leadership skills

August 21, 2013 11:40

Chris SavageEach week for Encore Chris Savage tackles your career and agency dilemmas this week he looks at leadership skills. 

Hi Chris,

I have big ambitious plans for my career. I want to be CEO before I turn 40. What are the top leadership skills I should be looking to cultivate?

So, you think you want to be the CEO, hey? Tread cautiously. Why do you want to be CEO? It’s a tough gig. I know. I have been CEO of several businesses and a CEO consistently for the past 20 years, until I took up my current role five years ago. At STW Group, I am not the CEO. I am – with our CFO – our CEO’s key partner. It is an easier life. Believe me.
