Highly regarded CEOs are nearly six times more likely than less highly regarded chief executives to be described as ‘humble’ (34pc versus 6pc), according to a survey of more than 1,750 executives in 19 markets worldwide.

Yet only about a quarter of the survey’s respondents say that the description fits their own CEOs, writes Leslie Gaines-Ross. The research, sponsored by PR firm Weber Shandwick, also shows that nearly half of a company’s corporate reputation and market value is attributable to its CEO’s reputation.
