What do great CEOs do differently ?*

A research about What CEOs really do to be successful.

What if a research on this topic includes the opinions of the best CEOs of the 21st century? In fact, such a study was published* in March 2022. It was written by Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra (all senior partners at McKinsey & Co.). First, we need to understand that 20% of top-performing CEOs have exceptional results to prove their status.

For comparison, if you invest $1,000 in the S&P 500 index fund, the investment will grow over 10 years to $1,600 (based on the historical averages).


When investing $1,000 in companies led by the top 20% of CEOs, it's different. The amount will likely grow to $10,000.


On the flip side, reaching this status is not the norm.

On the contrary, 30% of CEOs in Fortune 500 companies were replaced after less than 3 years.

Out of these, 2 out of 5 lasted less than 18 months.


Hence, learning more about the way best CEOs operate is key.
