How do Chinese companies hire external CEOs?

With Tang Jun as the most representative professional manager, more and more Chinese companies are becoming interested in hiring external CEOs.

Obviously, when companies hire external CEOs, they must first pay attention to and solve each other's needs and concerns. This is the core issue in recruitment and a fundamental issue.

In addition to paying attention to and solving the above-mentioned fundamental issues, another issue that needs to be taken seriously is: In what way do you communicate and interact with the external CEO? Being too self-centered and not making the other person feel respected. From the interactive emails and related records during the recruitment process between the two parties, I found that, in addition to a lot of reasoning, education and persuasion, the company only praised its own company at length and rarely mentioned its own company's thoughts on this idea. What does the CEO who wants to be hired from outside appreciate in him? This is largely due to the fact that the company does not act around its own needs and the problems it wants to solve. This will inevitably make the external CEO feel like this: Since you think your own company is so good, and since you think I have nothing to admire, what reason do we have to be together?

O will have to work closely with corporate directors in the future. If the other party cannot feel respect and sincerity at the beginning, even if they successfully join the company this time, in-depth cooperation in the future will still be a problem.

In China, managers have always been a group that lacks training and training. However, the entrepreneurial private entrepreneurs at the top of the corporate food chain seldom hear negative comments from others due to the characteristics of their work. The feedback makes it even more solitary and seeking defeat (the more career-successful a boss is, the more obvious this characteristic becomes). Therefore, the key to whether these entrepreneurs can continue to make progress is whether they can set up some mirrors for themselves like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and allow themselves to reflect and reflect on themselves.

Therefore, when Chinese companies hire external CEOs, they must have clear goals and make it clear that you are looking for a CEO, not a general manager. Of course, based on the actual situation in China, the authority of the general manager and CEO has been severely reduced. Of course, don't assume that the CEO's authority is very great. Basically, all major plans need to be approved by the board of directors.
