CEO Success Profile

The CEO success profile will help you to understand what differentiates top-performing CEOs. Think of it as a buffet of information you get to choose from when definining your role. It includes twelve criteria that distinguish top-performing CEOs. To create it, we reviewed North American awards that recognize the best CEOs and companies and we focused on the common criteria. To use the profile effectively, hone in on the attributes that are critically important for your business success. Then, define the pivot points, a short list of a few critical skills and attributes that will set your company up for success in the future.

CEO Success Profile

You can use this tool in three ways:

1) As a starting point for defining your CEO profile

2) To evaluate your strengths and development areas as a CEO

3) To have your top CEO succession candidates self-evaluate their own strengths and gaps so they can create meaningful development plans
