Cathy Anterasian, leader of Spencer Stuart’s CEO Succession Services, talks with Forbes about the fundamentals boards should seek in their organizations' next CEO and how aspiring leaders can position themselves for the top role.
Cathy shares the questions boards should ask themselves to ensure CEO candidates have the skills needed to succeed:
- Is this leader a good strategist?
- Is this leader a good operator?
- Can this leader have an impact on the culture?
- Can this leader build followership?
- Does this leader show stretch potential?
