The best CEOs cultivate skills to succeed in every area of life. Now you can become the CEO of your own life. Start with the three simple skills below.
#1 Don't Get Bullied
CEOs know how to overcome the bullies of Knowledge, Time, and People. You can too! Don’t be bullied by Time. Create routines and schedules. Drive hard for short blasts of time to prepare you for the longhaul. Wake up early to give yourself the competitive edge and rest when it's time. Don't be bullied Knowledge. Pick your top priority and become an expert. Read up on the topic and share your knowledge. Finally, don't be bullied by People. You can’t control what people say or think about you, but you can control how you respond. Don’t look for approval from others. That comes from above and give you a clear view of your personal identity.
#2 Master Your Desk
In a recent poll, 91% of leaders surveyed said they would be more effective if their workspace was better organized. Successful CEOs gain the edge by prioritizing tasks and maintaining a clutter-free workspace. The sheer joy of putting a check in that checkbox actually boosts hormones like serotonin and dopamine! Take a class, read a book, or watch a TED Talk on note-taking and setting reminders. Find a technique you like then give it a test drive until you find one right for you. Then beat the stats'; become an excellent manager of information. Increased productivity, happiness, and success will follow you.
#3 Stay Calm
CEOs learn when to let their feelings out and when to keep them close. No matter how highly charged the room gets, you don’t have to let your emotions run away with you. Give your emotions a rest and make smart decisions with the use of curious questions and extended empathy--your superpowers. When you focus your passion on priorities rather than emotions, you win every time. Trust in your Creator and confide in a trusted mentor. Your ability to handle emotions could make you the non-anxious presence everyone is looking for to bring peace and calm to every situation.
