On being an Effective and Successful CEO

On the National Entrepreneurs Network TV inaugural edition Broadcast last night which can be viewed at http://www.spacecoastentrepreneurs.com These points were brought up about what it takes to be an effective and successful CEO. This isn't new material. We have all heard it before. Vince Lombardi was an effective and successful leader! Why? He reinforced the fundamentals to his team. So here are some of the fundamentals of being an effective and successful CEO: Be a good listener; Don't wear blinders; Think outside of the box; Have the right person do the job and the corollary to that is this, Rarely is it you; Have a Mentor; Don't make assumptions. This is not an all encompassing or all inclusive list. However, if followed these basic fundamental principles will help you be an effective and successful CEO.
