CEO means what?
by Miki SaxonIt’s an equation that doesn’t change: who you are (your MAP) = what you do = what you’re called.
When it comes to business titles people are very creative, so the variations are numerous and telling.
Here’s a tiny sample, skipping blue language or all adjectives, of what I’ve heard from staff for CEO.
On one hand you have
- Conceited Egomaniacal Overlord;
- Caddish Elitist Obstructionist;
- Controlling Embarrassing Obsessor;
and on the other you have
- Concerned Energetic Overachiever
- Caring Enabling Oddity
- Charismatic Enterprising Optimizer
Where does your “nicktitle” fit?
Is that where you want it?
No? Then it’s time to change your actions, which means changing your MAP.
You may consider that bad news, but the good news is, as usual—it’s your choice.
So, for the sake of your staff and your investors, (not to mention family and friends) I hope you choose well!
