The Path of the Top Executive

Muriel Penicaud

Chapter 15 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 147-155 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract ‘The Path of the Top Executive’ casts light on certain aspects of the top executive’s life. This paper, the result of an analysis based on twenty years of experience in both private and public sectors, does not deal with the top executive’s objective professional career, but concentrates on the ‘interior road’ he travels. Is one born a top executive, or is it a matter of ‘metamorphosis’? How does the ‘chemistry’ of his meeting with the company work? What is the top executive ‘in quest of’? Can we talk in terms of a top executive’s ‘destiny’?
