"WOMEN-CEOS-SPEAK"
When roughly 94% of Fortune 1000 chief executive officers (CEOs) are men, what qualities drive the 6% who are women to the most elite reaches of corporate leadership?
To find out, the Korn Ferry Institute studied 57 women who have been CEO's - 38 currently and 19 previously - at Fortune 1000-listed companies and others of similar size. Korn Ferry (Tierney B. Remick) analyzed structured interviews with all 57 women and the results of psychometric assessments taken by two-thirds of them.
Among the key findings:
- Few set out to be CEO
- Starting out in STEM
- No single path to the top
- Seeking out challenge
- Motivated by purpose and culture
- A different mindset as CEO
Mary Dillon, CEO, Ulta Beauty, Inc., and
Jennifer F. Scanlon, President and CEO, USG Corporation, were among the 57 female CEOs that participated in the study. To read the full report,
