	Phil's Blogservations Monday, November 08, 2004 Posted by philgomes 1:45 PM Most Execs Don't Want To Be CEO Most Execs Don't Want To Be CEO In the mid-seventies, William Burroughs wrote a great piece for Harper's called "When Did I Stop Wanting To Be President?" (Answer: "At birth, certainly, and perhaps before.") According to this study, it seems like plenty of executives feel pretty much the same way: The number of executives who don’t want to be CEO has doubled since 2001 (60 percent today versus 27 percent in 2001), according to new research by global communications consultancy Burson-Marsteller. Only about one-third (35 percent) say they want to be CEO (versus 47 percent in 2001). Most executives have solidified their opinion about being CEO or not – only five percent are unsure compared to 26 percent in 2001. The study was conducted among Fortune 1000 executives by WirthlinWorldwide.) Thanks to Lish Nieva-Woodgate for the link.
