Toxic CEO

6 Types of Toxic CEOs that are Destined for Failure

Being the CEO means that your vision will guide your company, good or bad. There are CEOs who are visionaries, creating a very personal connection with the products they offer (like Steve Jobs); and there are CEOs whose brash leadership style clashes with other top executives in the company (like Steve Jobs.) The CEO bears the most responsibility for a company’s success or failure.

Being the CEO is a delicate balancing act between giving the customers what they say they want, giving the customers what they really need, making bold decisions, and holding on to the company’s core values. A CEO can generate more press through his actions than a quarterly report ever could. Therefore I dare every CEO out there to ask him/herself one question, what type of CEO do you want to be? Take a look at this infographic by GetVoIP.com which details six types of toxic CEOs that are destined for failure.

    I love the graphics, great job Reuben :) A good friend of mine was always complaining about his (now ex-)boss – he was a typical Hesitator.

    A good synopsis of the toxic CEO types. However, the Portrait of the CEO is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. I feel bad for the hours of wasted research here. Someone could have been doing something much more worthy. Gee, if a family member dies, it affects the CEO. Wow, amazing find! The average height is 6 foot and this is because we oppress women? These are just stupid points of “interest” to a minor few.

  • There’s a more human way to do business.

    In the Social Age, it’s how we engage with customers, collaborators and strategic partners that matters; it’s how we create workplace optimism that sets us apart; it’s how we recruit, retain (and repel) employees that becomes our differentiator. This isn’t a “people first, profits second” movement, but a “profits as a direct result of putting people first” movement.
