The CEO of an electronics company had an idea. He was a solid business person but was not as well-versed in electronics as some of his engineers. He came up with an idea and did not know if it was feasible. He asked two engineers to explore how it could be done so he could test the feasibility of the idea becoming a new product line.

What differentiates CEOs from others? Most tend to be big-picture thinkers. They don’t get mired in the “weeds.” But how do you recognize the signs of CEO potential early enough on in a leader’s career to help them develop into a future CEO? Or, perhaps even more importantly, how do you ensure that you don’t assume someone has CEO potential when in reality, they do not?

The need for developing leaders has long been recognized, especially at our nation’s military service academies. My favorite among them is the U.S. Naval Academy. Several years ago in the aftermath of cheating scandals that plagued them all, West Point, Air Force and Naval Academy administrators, faculty and governing boards recognized the need for curricular change. No longer could they assume that all of their entering students—arguably the “cream of the crop”—would always conduct themselves with honor and treat others with respect, courtesy and dignity.

Recently, I read an article published by Forbes on the eight challenges all businesses face regardless of size. Another article talked the five signs that indicated a startup business was on its way to failure, and still another listed the five signs a startup business would succeed. As a business owner and coach, I have read a ton of information, and talked to a lot of small business owners and would be entrepreneurs, on the joys, challenges and pitfalls of operating a business. Everyone seems to have a list of do’s and don’ts to be successful or avoid failure.

Mediocre leaders complain of a lack of good followership. They cite poor hiring decisions, a lack of good policy and process, poor education, and the inability to offer competitive salaries for the "really good people out there". Nothing could be further from the truth.

Why is it that so many leadership succession processes begin when that very business executive we need to replace announces he or she is going to retire? Isn’t that like having the horse in back riding alongside the driver rather than up front pulling the cart where it’s supposed to be?

The goalkeeper is quite like the CEO. They can do damage control and can provide a unique perspective to help their team score but they are really not in a position to score goals themselves. Yes ... some keepers come out of the goal occasionally. But mostly their role is to prevent catastrophe and direct the team from their unique vantage point on the field! Isn't this much like a CEO's role? Prevent catastrophe and provide direction to execute the game plan as best as possible under unpredictable and ever-changing circumstances.
