“This will impact your organization and employees”Ā
Making Exceptions for the CEO
One of the most damaging behaviors of a young company is demonstrating preferential treatment for its leader. When your team believes that your needs come first, or at their expense, or that the rank and fileās needs are less important than the needs of the leader, it creates an undercurrent of resentment at all levels of employment.
Similarly, when the rules apply to everyone but you, it sends the message that the CEO is above the law, and undermines the faith that you have the teamās best interests at heart. On the other hand, when the CEO is the first person on the team to hold themselves accountable, or to be accountable to others, it sends a message that everyone is in this together.
