SHRM EXECUTIVE NETWORK: The list of companies adopting a co-CEO model – Comcast, Oracle, Spotify, Netflix, Warby Parker, and others – has sparked fresh discussion about how leadership is evolving at the top.
“The reality is that the number of co-CEOs is minuscule,” says Christine Greybe, President of Leadership Consulting at DHR Global. While recent announcements may make it seem like “everyone is making the shift,” she notes that dual-CEO structures remain rare but are gaining attention as organizations face increasing complexity and higher demands on leaders.
In “The Rise of Co-CEOs: Sharing the Burden of Being on Top,” John Egan of SHRM Executive Network explores how shared leadership models are emerging among some of the world’s most recognized companies.
