El ADN de la toma de decisiones: cómo el factor más ignorado en la contratación podría ser la mayor ventaja competitiva de su organización.

When a Fortune 500 CEO described his company’s culture as “innovative and fast-moving,” his CFO characterized the same organization as “disciplined and process driven.” Both were correct from their perspectives. Yet this subjectivity reveals why traditional cultural assessment may fail, and why 63% of senior executives have resigned or considered resigning due to frustration with organizational decision-making.

The financial stakes are staggering.

 

Cultural misunderstanding costs organizations an estimated 6-9 months of executive salary in replacement costs, averaging $500,000-$900,000 per failed hire. For global enterprises, these direct costs pale compared to cascading effects: decreased engagement, damaged stakeholder relationships, and missed strategic opportunities that compound across quarters.

The root problem? Organizations cannot measure what they cannot define.

La paradoja de la sucesión del director general

In the ever-evolving landscape of business leadership, the conversation around CEO succession planning is gaining momentum—and for good reason. Companies led by young, visionary CEOs face a unique paradox. While these leaders may not be expected to step aside in the near term, the potential for sudden and unforeseen disruptions necessitates a robust, forward-thinking succession strategy.

In this piece, we will explore key insights and best practices that CHROs and boards should embrace to secure long-term leadership continuity and resilience. According to the recent study conducted by Equilar and featured in Barron’s annual Top CEO Issue, the median tenure of CEOs of S&P 500 companies has decreased 20% since 2013, with the median tenure now at 4.8 years. This research also shows that 80% of large-Cap CEOs have been in their role for 10 years or less.

Too often, in unpredictable scenarios, succession planning is treated as a reactive measure. Forward-thinking companies, however, recognize it as a continuous strategic process. This shift in mindset transforms succession planning from a backup plan to an integral part of business strategy.
