How do you develop as a CEO?

In an established organization, successful CEOs should have core leadership skills. Some of the core aspects here are taking calculated risks, making ideas to reality, and ability to read people. In an established organization, a professional should be able to gain the leadership skills through experience, mentoring from others, specialized learning programs, and coaching. A CEO should have built strong professional and personal credibility over the years to lead an established organization. At the senior levels, where you are groomed to take over the CEO position, leaders often get coached in specific areas like conflict management, public communication, board management, team engagement. My research for the book also shows that you have higher chance of becoming a CEO in an organization if you are a graduate from a premier business school, have spent a long tenure in the organization, and have established your credibility consistently by delivering business results.
