What special qualities does a CEO require for handling the challenges in sectors such as social change?

Two key skills that might be more important for CEOs in this sector would be the ability to work and influence two different social paradigms – the grassroots where your organization’s efforts are and with the corporate and the agencies who fund your organization. Two, managing accountability. The CEO should be able to articulate the change that the organization is able to bring both qualitatively and quantitatively. This is difficult and often may lead to conflicts with the funding partners if not done diligently.
