Did you know that nearly 1,500 CEOs vacated their position in 2018, a 25% increase from 2017? 1
And 76% of companies are without a ready-now CEO successor? 2
And three out of five companies (60%) do not have a comprehensive succession plan for the CEO position? 2
In this informative video blog, myself, Susan Madonia, Partner at ECC, and Cindy Lu, CHRO Partners, explore the topic of CEO Succession. We present recent trends on turnover and succession at the CEO level; we talk about what it took to lead and champion C-Suite succession planning at McDonald's Corporation amidst a challenging corporate turnaround environment; and, we discuss benefits of having an outside, confidential mentor at the C-Suite level to help accelerate success. At the conclusion of the video, four white papers are offered (CEO, CHRO, CFO, and CMO) for complementary download.
