Business Executives in the Public Sphere
By Heidi | April 10, 2007
According to a brand-new Kinsey report, US executives want to be more involved in public leadership and debate.
- US executives say they should play a much greater role in shaping the debate about sociopolitical issues and in leading efforts to effect change.
- Most of them say they are motivated primarily by personal reasons and usually act as private citizens.
- The minority who do play such a leadership role are likely to be board members or CEOs, often at privately held companies with annual revenues below $1 billion.
- They say that time constraints keep them from playing an even larger role, but that their comprehensive understanding of public issues (and their network of peers with similar interests) make it easier for them to play a leadership role.
