It wasn't long ago that top CEOs were the superstars of the business world. But now, as entire industries struggle, chief executives are increasingly taking the blame for their companies' failures. As CEOs pilot their organizations through the storm, they face increased pressure, fewer perks, and a transformed role that requires a new set of competencies and more rapid decision making than ever before. In this article published in The Conference Board Review, Jim Citrin details the traits an executive needs to thrive as CEO in this challenging business environment.
