Agile CEOs have a genuine vision and ambition to elevate the organisation, reinvent the business and shift the culture. This requires courage, resilience and commitment to the business's best interests.
Boards should not worry about an ambitious CEO overriding delicate stakeholder interests. A driven CEO who seeks win-win-win scenarios for the organisation and their critical stakeholders and partners will deliver multiples of value.
The question is not whether a leader is ambitious, but whether they can turn ambition into a sequence of decisions that stand the test of time.
