Being a CEO is one of the most demanding positions you can be in, no matter if it is for a small, medium or large firm, for a private or public company, for your own company or reporting to a board. In this day and age, the requirements have changed massively and are continuing to do so. In this episode, I talk to leadership coach Birgit Kamps about the key characteristics of a modern CEO that can successfully lead a company in the 2020s.
Birgit Kamps is a top leadership coach for CEOs. With a background in finance, Birgit has a very successful corporate career before she founded a highly successful staffing company that was one of the fastest growing companies in the US and the best place to work in Texas. After the birth of her daughter, Birgit focused her professional career on coaching CEOs as this gives her the opportunity to use her leadership and personal development skills and also gives her the flexibility to be there for her daughter. As a leadership coach for CEOs, her outstanding skill is to help CEOs discover their blindspots and adjust them in order to increase the performance of themselves and their teams. Her podcast CEO Blindspots is a very special podcast because Birgit invites very successful CEOs who are humble and willing to talk about their vulnerability, struggles and weaknesses. Birgit is a top expert in assessing, coaching and improving CEOs and is frequently asked by private equity firms to evaluate potential candidates for them.
