Executives roles come in a variety of options. They can usually be grouped by the term senior management and hold the most power out of employees. They’ll often be serving the purpose of a bigger picture rather than micromanaging day to day activities of the office. They’re in charge of the direction of the business, overseeing where they’re going and how they’ll get there. They’ll have to consult with all levels of the company including staff, management and board members.

Executives are leaders, and there are certain skills that can set apart good and bad leaders. Here are a few that are especially important:
- Communication
When someone has total authority with no regard for anyone else’s opinion, that is a dictatorship. You should try to avoid that. Having good communication skills to not only direct but also listen can set you apart as a leader. Even the top position should be having back and forths. You can’t see every facet of the company, but you have individuals covering said facets that can report back to you.
- Decision Making
Maybe the most obvious skill necessary for being an executive since it’s in the job description, but good decision making can’t be understated. Being calm and clear thinking is vital, the right decision isn’t always the obvious one, a good leader can discern what the appropriate move is, who will benefit and how.
- Strategy
Leaders are chosen because they can lead the best. Executives should have the foresight and knowledge to go in the right direction and map out how to get there. They should also have their ear to the ground, have a leadership team, take advice and listen to those who know more about aspects of the business than you.
