Yet given the increasingly short tenure for CEOs, C-Suite executives need to prepare themselves to step into the CEO position at any time.

In case of emergency, break glass ceiling. Women C-suite executives show all the right skill sets. So why are they so rare?
Male and female C-level executives are more similar than different in the way they approach problem solving, leadership, and interpersonal challenges. However, an analysis of more than 4,000 in-depth Korn/Ferry assessments found that the subtle distinctions that do exist give female leaders a slight edge, and suggest that they can be naturally rich sources of best-in-class executive behaviors.

CEOs’ Washington imperative
Politics and policy need to be higher on the agenda of American CEOs. The ramifications of trade, taxation, and regulation are too great to be neglected, or even delegated. As notable cases show, companies are far better off working to influence the process than responding to the result. This calls for more direct effort on the part of CEOs, and for companies to recruit and develop leaders with deep policy experience.

Lessons from the Asian C-Suite: Building Global Talent and a Culture for Success
There is a small cadre of best-in-class foreign talent at the senior levels of top Asian corporate success stories like Samsung, LG, SK, Huawei, Haier and Lenovo, among others, helping to "globalize" key elements of the business. Reporting to the CEOs, these executives, by and large, don’t speak the local language and many have never worked in Korea or China. But their impact has been felt throughout the global enterprise and most of these Asian conglomerates expect to hire more foreign talent as CEOs recognize the importance of building global capabilities, beginning with the head office.
