Many French senior executives are weathering the current economic storm by remaining in their present position, making it harder for firms to recruit new top leaders, reports Muriel Jasor in
Les Echoes. As a result, a growing number of companies are focusing less on attracting individual stars, and more on making their executive team more effective.
Jean-Louis Petitbon, a consultant at Egon Zehnder International, Paris, confirms this trend. "Our clients are no longer asking us to just find the best, they are asking us to help them boost the performance of their executive team," notes Petitbon.
