Week8.Writing Journal Prompts

My podcast’s topic will about the importance of CEOs’ abilities, and the main point will be CEOs need to attach importance to their abilities and responsibilities from many aspects. According to the date from Consumerist.com that CEO’s salary went up 298.2% while the worker’s salary just went up 4.3% form 1995 to 2005 (2007). This situation means that CEOs’ pay are much higher than workers’. However, different rate of pay is connected with corresponding rate of job, and having more pay requires having more responsibilities. In other word, because CEOs can get much money, they have to take more responsibilities than workers. Therefore, the CEO needs to have high level abilities, so that he or she can do the job in a long term. Having abilities like using experience critically, money management skill, communication skills and discernment ability are important, because these abilities can make a CEO to gain more achievements. According to Research Recap.com, that Booz Allen points out in CEO Succession, “from 1995 to 2006 annual CEO turnover has grown 59%; in that same period, performance-related turnover increased by 318%. In 1995, one in eight departing CEOs was forced from office – in 2006, nearly one in three left involuntarily” (2007). CEO’s replacing is quick. As a result, it is necessary for CEOs to have abilities which can help them to make more achievements, so that they can keep their jobs and become successful in one day.
