The decisions made by the CEOs of large public listed companies impact not only their businesses and their reputations, but can also have significant downstream effects, influencing entire global economies, industries and societies.
The rate at which CEOs 'turnover' (or, churn) provides unique insights on the stability of an industry, the appeal of a sector, or even the overall economic climate.
For instance, lower CEO turnover rates at a time of stable economic conditions suggests continuity in leadership benefits long-term corporate strategies. Higher turnover rates however, may hint at market uncertainty or changes, as demonstrated by the fluctuation of CEO departures during the COVID pandemic.
This evolving dashboard tracks these turnover rates over time, across countries (by way of major market indices) and industries. Its aim is to provide actionable insights into the often complex world of CEO tenure in large, global public companies and to aid in understanding of the broader trends that shape and are shaped by these key decision-makers at the helm of the world's largest organisations.
