Why? Because it can be hell. Not just for the people working with these CEOs and Founders, but those leaders themselves. And it’s more common than it should be. Recently it has become apparent that the world of leading any organisation is getting more complex than at any time in history. There are many reasons for this such as the speed of change, IT challenges, Climate change, and that’s enough for now. Complexity is not going away. Plus there is something else I’m pondering. The Western, Eurocentric business models are no longer fit for purpose, either at Ownership, Managerial, or Governance levels. I’m hearing from very capable CEOs that their stress levels are rising even when they are well resourced due to the extent and breadth of their responsibilities and what they need to keep abreast of. The enjoyment factor is dropping. This is only going to get worse. These CEOs are concerned.
