C-suite attitudes to transformation

Download our infographic summarizing the different personality types across the C-suite, and their attitudes towards organizational transformation.

Orgvue conducted research in September 2024 to explore senior executives’ attitudes to change and risk in relation to organizational transformation. Our research identified six personalities among C-suite leaders with differing views on workforce transformation and organizational change.

From the change-sensitive to the change-agnostic, these personality types are quite revealing. Here’s what we found…

  • COOs – Stability Promoters
  • CEOs – Conservative Guardians
  • CFOs – Pragmatic Optimists
  • CHROs – Pragmatic Optimists
