In today’s uncertain and challenging times, the C-suite is starting to look very different. A Russell Reynolds study finds out how different the C-suite would look in 2022 and what new skills will the CEO and CXO add to their repertoire.
In today’s challenging times for corporations, the C-suite is starting to look very different. The corner office is anything but stable — increasingly rare is the elder statesman who spent a long successful career at this one company.
