CEO talent: A dime a dozen, or worth its weight in gold?
调查美国大型上市公司董事对CEO人才市场的看法，发现他们认为CEO工作极具挑战，只有少数高管能胜任，表明优秀CEO人才市场比专家认为的更紧张和竞争激烈。
Abstract Very little sophisticated research exists on the size, quality, and efficiency of the labor market for CEO talent. This paper sheds light on this labor market by considering the perspectives of directors directly responsible for hiring and firing the CEOs of the largest publicly traded corporations in the United States. We find that directors overwhelmingly believe that the CEO job is exceptionally challenging and only a handful of executives are qualified to run their company and others in their industry. This suggests that the labor market for outstanding CEO talent is significantly tighter and more competitive than governance experts might realize.
