The New C-Suite Gauntlet: Why Proactive Career Planning is the Only Antidote to High Executive Turnover
In 2025, competition for C-suite talent is a "high-stakes game". But the demand for transformative leaders is matched by a high rate of executive turnover, creating a precarious environment where strategic positioning is everything. Boards are no longer simply looking for experience; they are hunting for "transformative visionaries" who can navigate complexity and accelerate growth.
The emotional pressure on executives is immense: deliver exceptional results and demonstrate the right future-ready skills, or risk being overlooked. The ultimate goal is to move beyond the technical function of your current title and prove you have the enterprise-wide thinking necessary for the next level.
