What Skills Should An Executive Have?
| Career : Executive Career Advice At the executive level, the job is much less about actually doing the day to day tasks. It is this fact that makes it hard for many to reach executive level, and makes many people who are lower down wonder what execs actually do all day - hence the comments about permanently being on holiday (conferences in LA, trips to Singapore to drum up business etc) Of course it varies from company to company, but the truth is that you should be a great leader, have great people skills and also be able to take decisions. Executives often have very large budgets to manage and are responsible for how that money is used, therefore you should feel comfortable taking decisions that are sometimes hard and not clear - because that is what an executive needs to do. You won't be involved in actually doing the vast majority of the work in terms of writing the documents and so on, but you will be expected to have a detailed knowledge of all elements of your business and help to set strategy, consistency, goals, targets and also if possible to inspire the troops.
