A good CEO should be a leader. There is a HUGE difference between a manager and a leader. We have been conditioned to think of someone who is a good manager as a leader, but these are two vastly different concepts.

A good CEO needs to be a good leader and be able to provide a clear vision to those around him. This vision needs to be both the intended goal of the organization, as well as including how to take steps to achieve that goal.

A good CEO needs to be able to recognize the strengths of people in the organization and allow them the room to use those strengths. Better yet, hire people with the strengths needed to achieve the vision.

A good CEO needs to make sure that the people who are doing the heavy lifting have al the resources they need to be successful. Do the engineers/accountants/nurses/custodians/researchers/whatever have the tools, training, and time to fulfill their portion of achieving the goals the CEO has set?

That's what makes a good CEO.
