The parallels seem unending
I am currently reading an interview with an architect and friend of mine. He is the CEO of a large International design firm.
I could not help but pause at this question and response:
Certainly, not everyone is cut out to be an executive. In your opinion, which specific traits increase the likelihood that a person will be a successful executive and
what type of person should avoid aspiring to be an executive?
The traits that increase the likelihood of being a successful executive are the same ones
that make a successful leader: a positive attitude, integrity and the ability to inspire.
Sure wish that extended to politics.
