A study conducted by a researcher using the Hogan Assessment Systems has used quantitative data to understand the factors that separate the best of CEOs from average ones. The best CEOs show passion and a sense of urgency in abundance. They have a clear idea of the company mission, vision and corporate strategy, so work in order to holistically serve those. Contrary to popular perception of CEOs being driven by self ego or personal targets, the best of them focus on the organizational outcomes and results. Their corporate communication is clear devoid of any ambiguities. They have a certain vision for the future, original ideas and are experts at building teams. While no CEO may be perfect, these attributes are generally well received.
