Great insights by Stephanie Mehta in this article featuring Heidrick & Struggles' Jennifer Wilson, highlighting the critical role CHROs play in shaping culture, strategy, and transformation.
Data from Heidrick & Struggles shows that just 16 CEOs of Fortune 1000 companies have HR experience. (They include General Motors CEO Mary Barra, JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty, and Southern Company CEO Chris Womack.) In this week’s #ModernCEO, Megan Myungwon Lee shares how her experiences in HR shaped her leadership style. She’s now chairwoman and CEO of Panasonic North America. So what’s keeping boards from tapping more Chief People Officers or Chief Human Resources Officers for the top job? Share your thoughts below, especially if you’re a CPO or CHRO yourself. Thanks to Jennifer Wilson and Tami Rosen for your insights. https://lnkd.in/eHKdYJEF
