New research by recruitment specialists GatenbySanderson has found council chief executives have fewer 'derailers' to success than their counterparts in the private sector.
Speaking at The MJ's Future Forum Midlands event in Stratford-upon-Avon, the company's head of assessment and talent consulting Marie Blakesley said 50% of chiefs in local government had no derailers, while the same was true for just 34% of top officers in private organisations.
