The CEO Blueprint

Choosing the right CEO is one of the most important decisions a board can make.

A strong leader shapes strategy, culture, and long-term performance, impacting everything from financial outcomes to market positioning.

Yet, selecting the right CEO often feels uncertain. Korn Ferry’s CEO outcomes research reveals the impact of using a clear, data-driven approach to finding chief executives who deliver results over time and drive sustained transformation.

Our research, covering over 500 CEO transitions and organizational outcomes of over 100 publicly traded companies, shows that using a proven integrated assessment process increases the likelihood of finding the best CEO.

Korn Ferry CEO assessments help companies find transformative leaders who can double market cap growth in the first four years. With our insights, boards can identify CEOs who break the cycle of rapid CEO attrition, drive better financial performance, and lead successful transformation.
