From first job to the CEO office

The amount of time from first job to the CEO office has fallen over the past two decades, according to study published on Economist.com. The average time has decreased from 28 years in 1980 to 24 years in 2001. CEOs are spending less time at each level, four years versus six years. The study attributed the faster pace to flatter organizations and the relatively new arrival of women in the CEO ranks.
