A new study suggests that executives, overwhelmed by information, are scared to make decisions. One step toward a solution: Don’t confuse metrics with strategy. Can a robot do a CEO’s job better than a human being? In 2023, it’s a question you can actually ask with a straight face. One reason for that is all the chatter about AI. Another reason is that CEOs seem to be asking the question of themselves.
