Ideal CEO

Having never had a job, it's hard for me to say exactly what type of employer I truly desire. Furthermore, I do not know all the skills required for a career in architecture. However, having previously assembled a list of my personal identities and the lines of development I value most, I feel that I have a somewhat clearer idea of the kind of situation I want to work in. The CEO obviously plays a crucial role here as they set not only the goals and direction of the organization, but the overall tone and atmosphere as well. Overall, creating a comfortable and understanding atmostphere is the most important quality my CEO would possess, as comfort in social and professional situations is extremely important for me to be affective and efficient.
In order to better describe my "ideal" CEO, I should firstly identify those characteristics of myself that I find most important and relevant to my future professional career, specifically in the field of architecture. One thing I feel proud of is my ability to adapt to different situations, or at least understand them. To me, this translates onto a more cultural level in that I can understand cultural differences and identify norms. This sentiment comes from living in Washington, DC when I was young and then moving out to a suburb a few years later. Having travelled to many locations and experienced both urban and more rural life, I feel that I have a good understanding of how styles can change depending on context. Also, I have a love for design and style as well as for rationality and organization. I love to plan and create, but I often end up disorganized and having problems following through which makes me think I may thrive in a business centered on creating and planning.
The CEO that I work under, then, must understand these characteristics and preferably practice within the organization those things that I value. More specifically, they must value and support cultural and consumer understanding, knowledge of the industry, adaptability, motivation, creativity, and teamwork or collaboration, the lines of development I value and, frankly, feel that I display. I hope to work for someone who clearly knows what direction the company is headed and what they expect in an employee. Furthermore, they must understand the role of my career in my life and how it balances with those other aspects, such as personal relationships and obligations. These two qualities will earn my respect and make me want to perform well and, in return, earn their respect. I work best in comfortable atmospheres with mutual understanding between employees and employer, and I look, and hope, to work for someone who can create that situation.
