Making choice from a high quality shortlist
"Kestria consultants delivered strong candidates and so the luxury and in the same time the difficulty of making choices from a high quality shortlist. We were also pleased with the professional approach of the searches with respect to planning, communication and feedback."

Insights
Leadership challenges and priorities in a disrupted market
This second annual global leadership survey builds on the themes that emerged in last year’s research; highlighting how rapidly the leadership landscape continues to evolve. Based on responses from more than 700 leaders across a broad range of industries, organisation sizes and geographies around the world, the findings reveal a leadership environment increasingly shaped by disruption, uncertainty and accelerating change. While economic pressures remain significant, the survey also highlights growing challenges around talent, digital transformation, AI capability and organisational resilience.
Executive search trends 2026: Leadership risk & advisory
Leadership decisions are becoming more consequential and more exposed. Across markets, industries and ownership structures, organisations are facing structural transformation, leadership succession pressures, geopolitical uncertainty and accelerated capability shifts. In this environment, executive hiring is no longer a transactional process. It is a strategic inflection point.
Leading in a disrupted world – Kestria Leadership Barometer 2025
In a world shaped by constant disruption; be it geopolitical instability, inflation, technological shifts or talent shortages—leaders must navigate this increasingly complex landscape. The inaugural Kestria Global Leadership Barometer brings together the voices of over 600 senior leaders from around the world to shed light on how they and their organisations are responding to these challenges, and what this means for the future of leadership.
