Do companies hire the right CEOs?

Update: 2024-09-25

Description

Are American companies any good at hiring CEOs? When a company is searching for its next CEO, what skills are they looking for? And are those the same skills that make CEOs successful in the job? We talk with Chicago Booth’s Steve Kaplan, who’s spent decades analyzing C-suite hiring practices and CEO performance. His research finds that candidates who get hired as CEOs are different from other C-suite executives, but also that hiring practices do not guarantee that the person who wows the hiring committee will succeed in the top job.
