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.

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.
