The role of the CEO has changed drastically in the past 20 years, and our expectations of them has both increased and changed. Since the 1990s the median tenure of CEOs has shortened to 10 to 5 years, and "it has become challenging for a CEO to advocate, motivate and embed their strategic direction in this reduced time frame". In this episode Kristian Lees-Bell and Dr Amanda Potter interview our guest the Author and Psychologist Dr. Sylvana Storey to understand the changing role of the CEO and what they can do to drive future success.
