1
Get the Proper Education
Each and every CEO needs to be smart, and that does not only come with formal education. Most importantly, a CEO needs to have a degree in Business Administration. He/She also needs to have street smarts and experience of everything in which organization is dealing with.

Learn About Current CEOs
Learning from example is one of the best ways to getting inspiration and seeing how you could fit into a specific scenario. Most CEOs have their own biographies published and tell about their whole life and how they got into the position they are today. See what they did wrong in certain situations and what they did right in others.

Be a Leader
Each and every CEO needs to be a leader and must know how to guide his subordinates. Only those CEOs are considered effective and successful who know how to work with others, in a team, and take charge when the need arises. Backing down from a decision is one thing, but backing down under stress is not what a CEO would do. Change your thinking and begin acting like a leader from now onwards.

Be Ready to Face Failure and Success
When a CEO fails in certain situations, learning from them and becoming a better individual is the best way to go about it. There will always be success and sometimes failure, but the will to keep on trying and being better every time is what a CEO possesses. Other people in a company may show some slack, but a CEO needs to be strong each and every time a situation arises because in the end, it is He/She who people are depending on to take them out of it.
