In November 2017, the Korn Ferry Institute released a publication asking when roughly 94% of Fortune 1000 CEOs are men, what qualities drive the 6% who are women to the most elite reaches of corporate leadership?

To find out, the Korn Ferry Institute studied 57 women who have been CEO—38 currently and 19 previously—at Fortune 1000-listed companies and others of similar size. We analyzed structured interviews with all 57 women and the results of psychometric assessments taken by two-thirds of them.

Review the publication on the Korn Ferry Institute's website.
