But what are the secrets behind a brilliant CEO ?
Intelligent CXO asked three business leaders for their insights . . .
The leadership disconnect
Study findings point to a large disconnect between employees and their managers and senior leadership . While 80 % of leaders say they are satisfied with senior leadership , only 43 % of non-managers are satisfied . Satisfaction with leadership is particularly low in the areas of company culture and career advancement opportunities . Among the findings :
• Less than half are satisfied with career prospects at their company and only 37 % of non-managers say their company is effectively investing in developing their skills .
• Only 48 % of workers say their managers meet or exceed expectations for encouraging a good working culture .
• Just 50 % of workers say their managers meet or exceed expectations for helping support their work-life balance .
• 67 % of non-managers say leaders don ’ t meet their expectations for checking on their mental well-being .
