CEO exits in US hit highest level on record

The Great Resignation may be ending for most workers, but it’s ramping up for CEOs. Over 1,400 chief executives have left their positions this year, a 50% increase from last year and the highest on record since 2002. Burnout from the pandemic may be catching up to executives, as they navigated the crisis both strategically and from a human perspective. Historically, CEO turnover is lower during moments of uncertainty.
