Executive Education: Dennis Carey

Saturday, May 28th, 2011

Dennis Carey is an executive recruiter at Korn/Ferry International.

In an article, he explained:

“CEOs need to learn what they can from others who have acquired, largely by trial-and-error, insights into how to run a company. We believe there is an immense and largely untapped body of knowledge on these subjects. It resides among the fraternity of experienced, seasoned and retired CEOs who has been working in the trenches for many years. They may well be the best ‘executive education’ resource for current and future CEOs.”

Selecting a CEO: Dennis Carey

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Dennis Carey, executive recruiter at Korn/Ferry International, understands that the process of selecting a new CEO is very complicated.

In an article, he wrote:

“A company would do well to establish parallel approaches to succession. Insiders often get the corporate top job- in fact, more than 80% of the current Fortune 100 CEOs were selected from within the companies’ ranks- yet the high turnover among CEOs is testament to the frequency with which companies pick the wrong insider. A set of parallel approaches allows a company to gather comparable data about internal candidates, with each process filling the informational gaps left by the other.”
