High School Diploma if starting you are starting your own Company. \n\nIf you want to become a CEO in a multinational company I suggest getting a Science Undergraduate degree (Like a B.Sc) or even a Masters and after some industry experience persue a Bussiness Graduate degree (Like a MBA). a Graduate Diploma in LAW on top of this wont hurt either.\n\nTheir is no right answer. Although education is a very important factor their is a lot of other variables to take in account.

Integrity is the main one. Basically your word in private and your actions in private should be no different than in public. \n\n1. Empathy - My best executive Director was such a geat boss because when I messed up and misshandled a situation, ( I had to supervise women and children in a shelter and rules were always being broken etc.) she always showed me what it is in me that is lacking and how I might fix that, instead of just firing me or disciplining me. She handled everything in a friendly manner with such great communication. I grew so much under her supervision. \n\n2. See The Grey -  I used to see right or wrong, black or white. It was clearly one of the other. She taught me to see the grey. Every rule or situation has a grey area. \n\n3. Understanding - Everyone comes form a different place and brings different thought to the table. Don't expect people to act like or react like you would, and don't feel dissapointed if they don't measure up. Just lead and guide.\n\n4. Lead by example. - No one should have to do anything you wouldn't do, and you shouldn't be doing anything that reflects badly in front of them.

The Board of Directors are the Governors of the organization.  They set policy and direction for the organization.  They hire and supervise the Chief Executive Officer.  They are the WHAT of the organization and the CEO is the HOW.  This is similar whether this is a non-profit organization or a business.  The main difference between a non-profit and a business re the Board is that in a business, compensation for directors can be paid for their service on the Board.

CEO's function as the main artery between the cooperate board members and the various levels of the organization itself.

Finance is the key to getting the top jobs, and advancing within them.  More CEOs come out of Finance than any other background.\n\nAccounting is tactical - you figure out what's in the numbers.  Finance is strategic - you plan how to grow the numbers.  Firms therefore put higher value on Finance.\n\nInfo Systems is a good field, but not if you want to get into Finance or Business Consulting.  The demand will be there in ten years, but lots of jobs here are moving to India and China - limiting opportunities in the US/Singapore/other wealthy nations.  Plus you'd have a tough time breaking into banking or business consulting if you're experience is only in Info Systems, and very few CEOs come out of IT.
