The Best-Performing CEOs in the World - HBR.org

A lot of people have blamed short-term thinking for causing our current economic troubles, which has set off a debate about what time window we should use to assess a CEO’s performance. Today boards of directors, senior managers, and investors intensely want to know how CEOs handle the ups and downs of running businesses over an extended period. Many executive compensation plans define the “long term” as a three-year horizon, but the real test of a CEO’s leadership has to be how the company does over his or her full tenure.

This article contains the first ranking that shows which CEOs of large public companies performed best over their entire time in office—or, for those still in the job, up until September 30, 2009. To compile our results, we collected data on close to 2,000 CEOs worldwide.

Retaining Star Performers in Trying Times - Management Essentials - HarvardBusiness.org

When the economy is slow and unemployment rates are high, it's easy to think your employees will happily stay put in their current jobs. But that's a dangerous assumption. Research shows that voluntary turnover rates increase as consumer confidence builds. This means, as a manager, you need to figure out ways to retain your top performers, even if your company is still in a slump.

There is no doubt that as a manager the pressure is on. As Jay Conger, the Henry Kravis Research Professor of Leadership Studies at Claremont McKenna College and author of The Practice of Leadership: Developing the Next Generation of Leaders, points out, "The largest predictor of whether someone will stay with a company is their satisfaction with their immediate boss." Your employees are likely looking to you for inspiration and guidance during these tough times, and you may have little, or nothing, to offer them in terms of advancement or compensation. Many companies have reduced or stopped giving bonuses or merit increases until the economy shows greater signs of recovery. Fortunately, as a manager, you have many other levers available to you that can motivate your stars and keep them happy. Relying on those other levers may cost you and your company nothing, but often they have huge value to your stars.
