The Emerging Career Model
The old career model implies the best job in the
company is that of the CEO because it represents the
pinnacle of workplace achievement. Once someone is
promoted to the top position, popular culture would
suggest, “You’ve made it! You’ve won the prize!”
Given that CEO turnover rates reach record levels
nearly every year, I jokingly wonder whether aspiring
to be a CEO is an intelligent thing to do.
Global CEO turnover reached record levels in
2005, quadruple the rate of turnover a decade earlier.
It seems CEOs who live exclusively by the numbers
die by the numbers.
