What does it take to be a CEO? What traits make a person successful in that role? How do you become a CEO if you meet those criteria?Graham Weaver, who is founder and managing partner of the private equity firm Alpine Investors, has thought a lot about these questions and many others as part of his work. He runs a training program through his firm for people — often recent business school graduates — who want to be CEOs. Weaver, who also teaches strategic management at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, joins LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman on the latest episode of the Get Hired podcast to share what he's learned through his work. He discusses the traits of successful CEOs, how to get hired as a chief executive, and why he started a training program at his firm.Follow Graham on LinkedIn by clicking here.Follow Andrew on LinkedIn to join the Get Hired community by clicking here.
