ABOUT
THE STUDY
The goal of this study was to understand the values, perspectives, and practices of Higher Ambition leaders today – 10 years after the publication of our early research on purpose-centered leadership, Higher Ambition: How Great Leaders Create Economic AND Social Value. We conducted interviews with 50 CEOs and company presidents that we identified as having the aspiration of being Higher Ambition leaders. CEOs varied in gender, age, tenure, and organization size.
