2025年,由于股东压力、不稳定和技术变革,CEO更替率在2025年创下了历史新高,其任期缩短,临时领导人增多。 CEO turnover hit a record in 2025 due to shareholder pressure, instability, and tech change, with shorter tenures and more interim leaders.

主要全球公司的首席执行官更替率在2025年创历史新高,平均任期从2021年的8年下降到7年以上,其驱动因素是活跃的股东压力、地缘政治不稳定和技术快速变革。 CEO turnover in major global companies hit a record high in 2025, with average tenure falling to seven years from over eight in 2021, driven by activist shareholder pressure, geopolitical instability, and rapid technological change. 股东运动在全球猛增到255个,导致32名美国首席执行官在运动一年内辞职,比四年平均数高出40%。 Shareholder campaigns surged to 255 globally, contributing to 32 U.S. CEO resignations within a year of campaigns—40% above the four-year average. 有些离任是突然的,包括雀巢公司的Laurent Freixe和科尔的Ashley Buchananan,而临时领导人现在占新首席执行官的15%,比2024年的9%有所增加。 Some departures were abrupt, including Nestlé’s Laurent Freixe and Kohl’s Ashley Buchanan, while interim leaders now make up 15% of new CEOs, up from 9% in 2024. 外部雇用占500人继任的三分之一,几乎是2024年的两倍,反映了向短期、可支配领导制的转变,这有可能破坏战略连续性和士气。 External hires accounted for a third of S&P 500 successions, nearly double 2024’s share, reflecting a shift toward short-term, disposable leadership that risks undermining strategic continuity and morale.
