This research tries to answer two simple questions: What drives tomorrow’s leaders? How does your organization identify a successful future CEO?
"An appreciation of what is driving individuals towards the CEO role and how best to go about identifying and developing talent are key business challenges for all Boards.
This report delves into whether CEOs are created through circumstance and environment or born with the skills to succeed. It covers differences between men and women aspiring to the CEO role and the view of respondents on their own organisations’ succession planning.
Throughout my career I have felt that one of the organisation’s tasks in identifying their future CEO is knowing the difference between relentless drive at the expense of others and someone who can galvanise and lead. The latter is always much tougher to identify."
