When you see CEOs hauled off to jail in handcuffs, skewered before Congress and blamed for the Wall Street melt-down you might ask, “Why would I want to be a CEO?”
My response is, “If you are going to work in a company (which most of us are) you might as well work in the best job in that organization and that is the top job.”
Why? Because you:
- have the most potential to turn things around, make things happen.
- can make a difference
- get to select the people you’re around
- are able to do something about the problems you complain about
- can make your own decisions
- minimize doing things that you think are stupid
- choose the chances you’re going to take
- make decisions that can change the world
- are able to help more people
- can do what you think is right
- can be the boss you always wanted to have
- control your own destiny
The top job is where the power is. Someone is going to get it and it might as well be you.
