1. You need to be sure you really want the job. About half of the 150 chief executive officers that were interviewed for the book The Secrets of CEOs said that they found the role “intensely lonely,” that the hours were long and that the responsibilities were huge, with international travel playing havoc with any social life that they might have had.
More than half of those interviewed said they had little time for family or personal interests and passions.
“We find many people are interested in climbing the greasy pole but really don't have much of an idea of what it really takes to operate effectively when they get there,” David Cumberbatch, the managing director of Xancam, a business psychology company, said. “They don't really have a clear understanding of what a CEO does on a day-to-day basis, whether or not they would enjoy doing that and whether or not they have the skills to do that.”
