CEO's Top Concerns

According to a recent global survey of CEOs by The Conference Board, the global research and business membership organization, spurring company growth has become a major CEO concern in Mexico and South America.

The Conference Board's sixth annual survey of CEO challenges covers the views of 658 CEOs from more than 40 countries.

Additional findings:

• For the future, CEOs of Europe and the U.S. have slightly different concerns. CEOs based in Europe are most concerned with speed, flexibility, and adaptability to change, followed by profit growth, and sustained and steady top-line growth.
• In the U.S., the top challenges in the future will be how to sustain and generate steady top-line growth, execute strategy by top management, customer loyalty/retention, and profit growth.
