In the book, “The CEO Next Door,” the authors did a deep dive on survey data to determine what attributes surfaced for successful CEOs. Their findings revealed some insights that debunked several CEO Myths.
One myth is that CEOS are destined for greatness from an early age. The author’s research, however, discovered that over 70% of the CEOs they interviewed, didn’t set out to become CEOs. Instead, they typically had fifteen-plus years of experience before exploring the possibility of CEO.
In Judges 6:15 Gideon says, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
Many CEOs begin with the same doubts as Gideon. Don’t be afraid to step into what God has prepared for you.
