For my final report I will use the dataset titled: The Best-Performing CEOs in the World. Here you can Download the Data Behind the Rankings.
It is a large dataset that takes several key factors into account that measure how and why a CEO is deemed successful. For anyone interested in business, it is a thorough dataset that has tracked each of these CEOs from the first day of their tenures.
Aside from how much their companies are worth and how much their individual net worths are, this data set also factors in information such as environmental scores, to show a thorough and in-depth analysis of what makes a CEO great.
The data set contains each CEO's: ranking, name, age, gender, company, country, industry, start year, if they are the founder, insider/ outsider, the type of degree they hold, CEO/ Chairman Split, TSR Rank and %, Market Cap Change % and rank, financial rank, ESG Score and Rank.
It takes several factors into account, besides how much the companies are making and how much their net worths are. This dataset goes deep.
I initially had to look into the headings such as TSR, ESG, and a few other business lingo terms. They are all thoroughly explained through a simple google search.
Here is a link to the full article in the Harvard Business Review, where you can also find the dataset.

The way the dataset ranks the CEOs is meant to signify enduring success. This brings about several questions.
- What signifies long-term success as a CEO? It is a very industry specific question, as risk-taking and innovation only prove success However, since the CEOs are in different industries, are there industry-specific ways to measure how successful a CEO is?
- Why is the leadership aspect not taken into account? As it can be such a vital aspect of a CEO success.
- What does success as a CEO really entail?
- What other factors contribute to the success of a CEO?
- Is there a different way to rank the CEOs based on this dataset, other than the way they have weighted the fields?
A goal of mine is to enter the business world and eventually lead a company, a dataset like this allows me to recognize the significance of variables that contribute to a successful tenure of a CEO.
If you still haven't, please Download the Data Behind the Rankings so you can fully understand my analysis.

I like that you have pics on your post. The data set is quite clean and easy to understand. The data contains a lot of great information, hope you can have a great report out of it.
ReplyDeleteI like how you've been quite consistent with the topics of your blog posts! As I said in my previous comment on your first post, I don't know a lot about the business world, and your blog will be a good opportunity for me to learn more.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a unique choice for a data set as most people have stuck to overall data for specific causes, where you are analyzing people. Your questions seem to fit the data set well, although I think some could be based on assumptions, so I would be careful when looking at what makes a successful CEO as the data does not look at personality traits and how employees view their CEO.
