Do today s CEOs need English proficiency?

The so-called CEO is just a high status. Some companies may not have to speak English, but occasionally they will speak English, for example, what should you do if you are a foreigner? Or what should you do if the general English information is handed over to you, the CEO?

But in China, it is needless to say that the general CEO such as the city is general. Seldom. You always have to know some basics.

Big cities such as Shanghai. That's a must. If you don't have enough English and skills, do you think you'll be a CEO?

You don't need to be the CEO of a state-owned enterprise.

Generally speaking, with the improvement of China's international status, this requirement should be there. At the very least, you must be able to communicate with foreigners.

With the rapid development of China's economy, and foreign business contacts are becoming more and more frequent, English has become a necessary basic professional skill, not to say that the CEO, even ordinary employees are increasingly using English, to take the simplest example, if you do not know English on the Internet, you will encounter a lot of obstacles, not to mention the need to use English in daily life occasions are gradually increasing, it is recommended not to affect the future development of your career because of this small obstacle.

Whether you want to start a business or become a CEO in the future, the first thing you need to learn is law (especially business law), as well as management, and finance is also very important (such as issues such as company listing or financing), which are inseparable from law and finance! In addition, it is necessary to have a good interpersonal relationship, which is slowly accumulated, and you can start from now on! It is impossible to be a CEO at first, but I wish you success!!

If you want to learn business management, you have to start with human resources knowledge. You can start by reading books for HR administrators, but also books on logistics, finance, marketing...You have to learn a lot of economic law....The most important thing is interpersonal relationships, which is emotional intelligence management, and I'm in my second year of junior high school, and I'm now a company manager, and I think relationships are very important, and I have to have my own principles for doing things.

CEOs must have exceptional communication skills.

The biggest difference between CEO and other professions is that the CEO is a manager, and like all managers, the tasks to be completed and the goals to be achieved by the CEO are obtained by borrowing other people's hands and brains. Almost all professions can be fought alone, but managers can't.

Man is a thinking primate, and if you want to organize a group of primates efficiently, you can't just have rights. Therefore, a CEO must have extraordinary communication skills in order to successfully persuade the board of directors to support his work, to make his subordinates willing to go to the trouble for him, and to obtain the cooperation of the company and customers. It is the combined action of the hands and brains of all these business participants that determines the success or failure of a CEO.

By communication, we don't mean that CEOs should have the ability to speak like a speaker. On the contrary, many excellent CEOs are people who are quick to talk and act. Because, people are a little bit distrustful of people who can speak from the bones.

A good CEO is not a rhetorical statement, but a person who can make accurate judgments and decisions when it matters most.

It's important to build relationships.

Actually, there is nothing required for this, just do it if you want to. You can call it "CEO", or just ask your family or friends to call you "CEO" in the future

The CEO does not say to do it, but to do it if he wants to, it is the pinnacle of the science of management. With a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical experience and the ability to be a person, it is possible to do EO, which is not only responsible for the individual, but also responsible for the company and society.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is a product of the reform and innovation of the corporate governance structure in the 60s of the 20th century. Due to the changing market situation, the speed of decision-making and the strength of execution are more important than ever. The traditional corporate system of "board of directors decision-making, managerial implementation" is no longer able to meet the needs of decision-making.

Moreover, the information transmission time lag and communication barriers between the decision-making level and the executive level, as well as the increase in decision-making costs, have seriously affected the rapid response and execution ability of managers to major decisions of the enterprise. The first point to solve this problem is to let managers have more power to make independent decisions, so that managers can fight more for their own decisions and be responsible for their own actions. CEOs are a product of this transformation.

In a sense, the CEO represents the transition of some of the decision-making power from the original board of directors to management.

The CEO and the general manager are both the "top leaders" of the enterprise, the CEO is not only the chief executive, but also the spokesperson for shareholders' rights——— in most cases, the CEO appears as a member of the board of directors, and the general manager is not necessarily a member of the board of directors. In this sense, the CEO represents the business and is responsible for its operations.

Since there are no similar superiors and checks from all sides abroad, the authority of the CEO is more absolute than that of the general managers in China, but they will never intervene too much in the specific affairs of the company like the general manager. Once the CEO makes an overarching decision, the executive authority is delegated. So some people say that the CEO is like 50% of the chairman of the board of directors and 50% of the general manager in my country.

Generally speaking, the main responsibilities of the CEO are threefold: to make decisions on all major affairs and personnel appointments and dismissals of the company, and after the decision, the authority is delegated to specific supervisors, and the CEO has less specific intervention; Create a corporate culture that motivates employees to want to serve the company; Sell the overall image of the company.
