“Leadership is an action, not a position.” ~ Donald McGannon
A company called Kapta conducted a survey (over 300 CEO’s) on “What Keeps CEOs Up at Night?”
This is what they found.
- 38% of CEO’s have been blind-sided by negative surprises in the last 90 days
- Not enough data – 71% of CEOs we spoke with feel frustrated about the lack of meaningful data in their organization.
- Performance of the top team – 45% of the CEOS were not satisfied with their executive team’s performance.
- Moving too slow – 82% of CEOs feel like their team isn’t acting with enough urgency and this was affecting the company’s ability to get things done.
- Lack of control – 64% of CEOS don’t have full control over their company’s direction.
- Employees don’t get it – Only 22% of CEOS have confidence that their employees get it.
My guess is that small and medium size businesses are not that different.
And most of these issues are within the organisations control.
What keeps you awake at night?
