Ron Williams, Jose Almeida

Everybody values the drive for results, the quality of decision making, dealing with ambiguity, but there are some valuable skills that you don’t see everywhere. One is learning on the fly. People who can learn fast will take charge of a situation and can be mobile between businesses and functions. Another one is managing innovation. To manage innovation, you have to have the ability to allow empowerment, entrepreneurship, and to let go of control. Those skills are not often found in traditional hierarchical companies, where people tend to become very process-driven. And process is a tremendous hindrance to creativity and innovation. So go find those gems, the people who have those skills that are undervalued in your company’s leadership-skill inventory. Because those people will make you more successful as a CEO.
