One good thing about reporting to a celebrity boss is the opportunity to meet movers and shakers in different sectors. This expands one's professional outlook. The stories that top executives share are very inspiring -- how they drive their company, how their industries fare and so on, and so forth.
However, there is one thing that intrigues me more than anything else. It's studying the CEO Behavior. Much more than the accomplishments that makes them outstanding, there seems to be common characteristics among them (most, as there is always an exception to the rule). The CEOs that I have met are compassionate, very easy to talk to, are accommodating and has an exemplary ability to connect with people. However, they also have the aura of authority and sternness which can make people bend in their will.
Uncanny combination, don't you think? I wish all executives are like this. But for today, I am happy that most of them that I meet are such lovable people.
