Last week’s MBA Mondays<\/a> post on What A CEO Does<\/a> was a huge hit. Matt Blumberg<\/a>, who is one of the finest CEOs I’ve had the pleasure of working with, wrote a follow-up post<\/a> on the topic for his blog<\/a>. I asked him if I could run it as a guest post here on MBA Mondays and he agreed.<\/p>\n So, here’s a bit more on What A CEO Does:<\/p>\n \u2014-<\/p>\n What Does a CEO Do, Anyway?<\/p>\n Fred has a great post up last week in his MBA Mondays series caled \u201cWhat a CEO Does.\u201c\u00a0 His three things are set vision\/strategy and communicate broadly, recruit\/hire\/retain top talent, and make sure there\u2019s enough cash in the bank.<\/p>\n It\u2019s great advice.\u00a0 These three are core job responsibilities of any CEO, probably of any company, any size.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to build on that premise by adding two other dimensions to the list.<\/p>\n First, three corollaries \u2013 one for each of the three responsibilities Fred outlines.<\/p>\n Second, three behaviors a CEO has to embody in order to be successful \u2013 this goes beyond the job description into key competencies.<\/p>\n There are a million other things to do, or that you need to do well\u2026but this is a good starting point for success.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n reece<\/strong> summarized it as:<\/p>\n really awesome post, Matt. priceless advice for CEO’s.<\/p>\n the phrase that always sticks out in my mind is “setting the tone.” in college, that was my coach asking the seniors to “set the tone” for practice.<\/p>\n it’s abstract direction and it varies by situation, but if you set the right tone for a meeting, your customer service practices, or the company in general – the results are fantastic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n To which JLM<\/strong> added:<\/p>\n Don’t just set it, live it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This article was originally written by Fred Wilson on September 6, 2010 here<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week’s MBA Mondays<\/a> post on What A CEO Does<\/a> was a huge hit.
