Continuous education for CEOs: what is the importance for corporate growth

The world is constantly changing. Every day we wake up, we see news of countries growing economically, wars, agreements, technological advancements, and many other events. Leading a company in the face of this volatility and uncertainty is not something simple or easy, what is required of an excellent CEO leading the business that, not only have extensive experience in the field, but that has, inside oneself, a strong understanding of the importance of staying updated to be properly prepared to be this pilot

This unpredictability of the market has always been something present in our history. The difference, now, is that, with the growth of global digitalization and the high connectivity of society, events in other countries also have a high probability of affecting us here – what, naturally, it raises the level of concern and fear among businesspeople

This feeling has been demanding greater agility from businesses, adaptation and scenario reading, in favor of a more strategic decision-making. All of us, in theory, we should have this behavior in our daily lives, however, in the case of CEOs, this profile gains even more importance, considering the weight of this chair for conducting operations with maximum efficiency

Understanding this relationship, data released in a survey conducted by Falconi shows that 80% of CEOs continued to study after their first degree, in search of executive education programs that reinforce your knowledge and skills for occupying this position

The way they can stay updated to make decisions with minimal information and, on top of that, foresee possible scenarios, deserves attention. Це тому що, far beyond this routine needs to be part of your schedule, some questions need to be asked and support these studies

Being based on what happens in the world is, undoubtedly, important. But, ask yourself: what differentiators do I, as CEO, I will be ahead of my competitors, with this learning routine? What were the recent global events and how did they impact, oh no, my company? Can we foresee any occurrence, based on what we have already gone through, so that we are better prepared to deal with them

Make these analyses and incorporate what, in fact, makes sense according to the reality of your business. Who are all these agents that impact or interfere with operations, and how can they prepare, from this, to make more strategic decisions. Something that, to achieve the set goals, will depend, justly, of this constant update by the CEO, staying tuned to what is happening in the world and organizing your home very well for possible occurrences

With the arrival of a new year, new airs are needed. See how 2024 was for your company, your teams, and align everyone's mindset on what they expect for 2025. This ecosystem needs to unite and shape itself in the face of achieving these goals, having the necessary support to take ideas off the paper and put them into practice with assertiveness

If the market doesn't stop – and never stopped – why the CEO should? The business dynamics are in constant recycling, and we should all keep the pace. Otherwise, you will be the only one stagnant in front of a world that keeps advancing, at a fast pace
