Some interesting thoughts came to my mind as I was coming back from work today evening. How does a manager become a CEO? What is it that differentiates a CEO from a manager?
Here are some funny observations I had based on two favourite pastimes for most managers and all CEOs - meetings and presentations. This observation is in terms of the percentage of time that is spent on meetings and presentations.
Activity Manager Senior Manager VP CEO
Attending Meetings 20% 30% 40% 50%
Listening to Presentations 5% 20% 30% 40%
Giving Presentations 40% 30% 20% 10%
Creating Presentations 30% 20% 10% 0%
Work that Earns Revenue 5% 0% 0% 0%
The message is loud and clear - for a manager to become a CEO, the difference is in terms of what percentage of time is spent on meetings and presentations.
