In January of 2019, The Predictive Index™ surveyed 156 CEOs, presidents, and chairpeople. We asked a slew of questions that cut to the heart of what drives them, what their challenges are, and what keeps them up at night. Their answers revealed the patterns of high-performing CEOs and allowed us to explore the executives’ inner thoughts and biggest weaknesses.

In this report, you’ll find details and data on:

• CEO top priorities, challenges, and anxieties

• Analysis of CEOs at high-performing companies

• CEOs’ biggest weaknesses—and what else they’re secretly thinking

• The real lives of CEOs

58 percent of high-performing CEOs use tools to assess job fit and team fit.
