This week I thought that I would try to identify for you six distinct styles of a chief executive - perhaps you have one that fits in where you, work. The over-sensitive: Emotional, erratic and easily wounded, they allow their mood to influence their judgement. They blamne Oemselves for others' mistakes and becomne drained and depressed. The dîsciplinarian: (perhaps mfyseif) Stiekiers for formality, ruies and nit-picking detail. Self-made man: Often they own the compaiiy. Think that oniy they have drive for success. Cant delegate anything. See the teamt as an extension of their ego. The secretive: They only let you know anything on a need-to-know basis. Limit their risk by sayîng littie. The specialist: Their solution to pavilions. The Metro Toronto Police Winged Wheels led the parade on Sunday followed by a Folk Festival Camivai at the Civic Auditorium problems are theoretically accurate but often unworkable. The integrator: The most successful CEO, they have a rare' ability to recognize the needs of their staff. Their staff are happy, open and disciplined. Cari you recognize your own Chief Executive Officer in any of the above descriptions? Ir you cari, and do not like mÏhat you see, I guess you will just have to grin and bear it... .and blame alyour own mistakes on the boss.
