Findings from the 2015 Jack Hammer Executive Report - the third annual report of its kind, due for release later this year - show that the face of the country’s Top 40 leadership has stayed very much the same since Jack Hammer’s previous CEO research in 2012.
More importantly; very little is set to change in the foreseeable future.
The findings also show that the proportion of CEOs who are black South African has fallen from 15% three years ago to 10% at the time of this year’s research.
