Desautels researchers link thrill-seeking CEOs to increased innovation
Published: 9 June 2017
CEOs with a real taste for excitement can be a company鈥檚 best bet for upping its innovation cred, according to a paper co-authored by a Desautels professor Jingjing Zhang.
The paper studied 88 CEOs who were pilots, comparing them to 1,123 non-pilot chief executives over ten years. Pilot CEOs helped increase their companies鈥� patents by almost 67 per cent.
Desautels Professor Zhang said that this comes down to thrill-seeking CEOs tending to love diverse, original projects to a higher degree.
