Executive Search

Transition phases call for powerful abilities to shape and orchestrate events, automatically highlighting any shortcomings in terms of leadership or a lack of top talent. Such is the impression derived from a survey of 1,092 top managers from across all industries, conducted by Egon Zehnder International in August and September. In online interviews, the executives answered questions on their attitudes to transition processes – and in some areas generated a very diverse picture.

Trust was the topic of the 4th International Executive Panel held by Egon Zehnder International. 1,210 top executives from around the world, over 300 of them CEOs, company owners and chairmen, were surveyed in early 2008. Small and medium-sized businesses as well as major corporations were represented on this distinguished panel.
