Harvard Business Review has an interesting article created by PriceWaterhouseCoopers:
In a 2013 survey of nearly 700 executives across a variety of industries, our firm asked respondents to rate the effectiveness of the top leaders of their companies. How many excelled at strategy? How many excelled at execution? … These responses are sobering:
- Only 16% of top leaders were rated very effective at either strategy or execution.
- Only 8% were very effective at both
- 63% were rated neutral or worse on at least one dimension.
These results suggesting 92% of top executives are at risk for losing their jobs?
What should be done?
Senior leaders need help to shore up weaknesses. You can run, but, you can’t hide.
