Are you CIO or just CEO ?

Every Chief Executive Officer (CEO) should deserve to be promoted to Chief Inspirational Officer (CIO).

If you check Wikipedia it says that:
"the responsibility of the chief executive officer is to align the company, internally and externally, with their strategic vision. The core duty of a CEO is to facilitate business outside of the company while guiding employees and other executive officers towards a central objective. The size and sector of the company will dictate the secondary responsibilities. A CEO must have a balance of internal and external initiatives to build a sustainable company."

But, one important responsibility is missing.

CEO's responsibility to perform also as a role model for organisation.

And role models are there to inspire us. People who inspire us they all have inspirational mindset.
Mindset is totally unconscious, and yet it drives all actions and subsequent results in ones profession as well as ones life. While there has been much talk about mindsets in the last ten years, very few people know what they are.

Briefly, your mindset is the combination of your experiences, values, beliefs, self-image, attitudes and habits that are lodged in your unconscious mind. They determine every action and every result you have in your life. You can typically double or triple your results by dealing with the foundational cause.

I am not suggesting that skills are not important... they are. But only if they are laid upon a firm foundation of winning thought. This is much more than just motivation or "positive thinking." If you want to change or improve your results, you must change and improve yourself at the causal level.
Your mindset is the cause! Long-term success is not about acquiring new skills... it's about shifting your mindset. Success is about creating and sustaining a winning mindset.

So, are you also inspirational (CIO) or just Chief executive officer (CIO)?
