For most workers, the so-called Great Resignation is over. For CEOs, it’s just ramping up.
More than 1,400 chief executives have left their positions so far this year through September, according to a report by executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. That’s up almost 50% from the same period last year and the highest on record over that period since the firm began tracking in 2002.
