C-level leaders are more important now than ever before. Modern enterprises must navigate ever-changing market conditions. Executives are responsible for setting the course and achieving organizational stability, no matter how momentary it may be.

This not only requires an extensive skill set but also intangible qualities that only a select few individuals possess, according to Harvard Business Review. If your organization is on the hunt for new leadership, be sure to focus on candidates with these essential traits:

Adaptability
To survive in today’s business world, companies must facilitate scalable internal processes and continually re-evaluate their operations to keep up with customer demands. This starts at the top with leaders who embrace agility and are willing to support requisite internal change, PricewaterhouseCoopers found. With this in mind, try to pinpoint candidates who aren’t afraid to challenge convention and move in a new direction.

“To infuse your enterprise with purpose, you need C-level staff who focus on more than meeting sales goals.”

Results-driven
Technology now allows businesses to monitor their operations and maintain results-driven processes. Effective executive leaders are comfortable working within data-based cultures wherein almost everything is tracked, Inc. reported. Such C-level staffers embrace measurable operational insights and seek to increase organizational accountability.

Purpose
We’ve discussed how purpose-driven companies see increased productivity and healthier bottom lines. To infuse your enterprise with purpose, you need C-level staff who focus on more than meeting sales goals and work to make customers happy. Normally, such leaders are quick to take ownership of key CEO responsibilities and have a tangible passion for the work they do.
