High impact CTOs are in demand but what are the key attributes of in-demand CTOs?
Well, it’s not their hard skills. The key difference between the good and the great CTO is shaped by ability to lead, which is down to the soft skills.
From communication to critical thinking, delegation to decision making, your personal value in the market will be shaped by the impact you can have in an organisation and that will be defined by your leadership capabilities.
Steep Learning, High Reward
Quickest route to CTO is start you own company or be an early hire. The learning curve is rapid, the salary less so but you’re in the heart of the business and building that equity stake.
Stable Learning, Career Roadmap
Building your career within a corporate environment provides a more stable learning and salaried environment. This is about building a personal brand and career road map to achieve the role you want.
Intrinsic Motivation
Do you know your core values and intrinsic motivation? More enjoyable and interesting to achieve the career you want if it’s aligned to your personal values, rather than outside incentives or pressures.
