April 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Do you want to become CEO of your company, for personal benefit and to benefit your colleagues, customers, etc.? The book "How to become CEO of a company: how to become a successful and happy CEO" tells you how on http://www.iswb.org/

The book is also available on http://www.amazon.com/How-become-CEO-company-successful/dp/1461048710/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1303939408&sr=1-1

As suggested in our AmAre approach, start by being Aware: forget all the books and expensives seminars given by rock-star CEOs. In most of the cases, you are just paying to listen to what the speaker thinks you want to hear; a wonderful opportunity to learn communication skills, but not a venue to learn how to become a CEO. Getting at the top is not easy, because many people aspire to the same results, and among the ones who don't, there are some who just like, or happen, to obstruct the path of others. In this book about becoming CEO of a company, we integrated into AmAre ( www.AmAreWay.org) some of the advices provided by Jeffrey Pfeffer in his book "Power - Why some people have it, and others don't".

These are seven important personal qualities that build power (inspired by Jeffrey Pfeffer's research, but not identical) the AmAre way:
- To be motivated
- To be energetic
- To be focused
- To be aware
- To be confident
- To be empathic
- To be accepting

While each context demands its own set of approaches, these are some common ways to be act to become CEO.

When we start:
- if we wait for resources before we start, than we may just end up waiting forever. Let's start with what we have here and now
- provide attention and support
- do small but important tasks
- build a resource base inside and outside your organization
- leverage association with prestigious institutions

What to do:
- ask, even if it is not easy to ask, pepole like to be asked (asking is flattering)
- stand out and be noticed
- likability is overrated, and attitudes follow behavior (if we act in a certain way - ex: friendly towards a person we do not like - after we also start feeling that way - friendlier terms with that person)
- remember that people forget and forgive

Remember: success starts with cultivating happiness and well-being; if you think you can be happy only if you become a CEO, than think again. Start cultivating your happiness now as inspired by http://www.iswb.org/  respect your well-being and other beings, and enjoy the journey which leads you from where you are now to become a CEO!
