There are a lot of articles on traits of successful CEOs, and we thought it would be useful to pull together the 5 most commonly cited.
- Good digestion: CEOs go to a lot of meetings, which mean they’re often eating on the go. If that Subway sandwich is giving you heartburn or you’re farting up a storm in your post-lunch deal meeting, you’ll never make it. Consider Beano.
- Wearing clothes: Most CEOs wear clothes.
- “Direct Reports”: You’ll look great if you can say you have some “direct reports.” Most people will think this means you are responsible for managing people, but if you aren’t, we recommend printing a bunch of random reports from the internet and writing the word “direct” on them.
- Experience: You’re going to need experience if you want to have the coveted title of “CEO.” In lieu of an extensive work history, we recommend the IMAX 3D Experience.
- Connections: To get things done, you need to be well connected. That’s why we recommend having both a mobile phone AND a land line.
Good luck on your path. This guy cares about you:
