Standout CEOs share keys to success: create, reflect, persuade and collaborate

Sixty percent of CEOs identify creativity as the most important leadership attribute for the future.
The “Business in Uncertain Times” video produced by Good Worldwide artfully animates this statistic and other results from a recent IBM-sponsored CEO study.

Here are some other interesting facts revealed by the study:

• 74% of standout CEOs take an iterative, ongoing approach to developing strategy. The best leaders are continuously evaluating what works and what doesn’t, and change plans accordingly.

• 58% of standout CEOs prefer to persuade and influence than to command and control. When the goal is to influence positive change, things fall into place. Persuading and influencing takes skill and strategy, but it’s amazing how easy it becomes when there’s good and compassion at the core of it all.

• 78% of consumers are willing to collaborate with businesses. There’s so much untapped potential and wisdom in the consumer. Smart leaders will embrace consumers and make their wisdom a part of the business plan.

The video also emphasizes that great leaders are able to embrace ambiguity. They capitalize on complexity and grow gracefully with the future of business. I couldn’t agree more.
