we need to know what kind of ceo we have in order to deal with them!

Thursday, July 7, 2011

a ceo with strong background in marketing, clocking in great numbers, usually a great leader with charisma, open minded, welcoming new idea, marketing is every thing

Thursday, July 7, 2011

a ceo with strong background in fineness , locking to the numbers, usually restricted, needs prior approval, not great leader with very bad charisma, marketing is support, welcoming new idea related to “roi”

Thursday, July 7, 2011

a ceo with strong background in logistics and IT, his priority is the financials and risk management, and how to manage and hire people, tough leader, IT department is managing the digital marketing !!

Thursday, July 7, 2011

a ceo who has stayed a very long time, rose from the lower rungs, very danger, good at following instructions, historical record style, too insulated, a veteran

Thursday, July 7, 2011

a ceo who has very strong in-depth product knowledge, the most important is the products, good products need no marketing, in-house marketing

a ceo who has no luxury or freedom to act as ceo, restricted, needs prior approval, have marked boundaries
