Key Takeaways

Differences in stakeholder strategy across companies are related to CEOs’ focus on promotion (how things could be) versus prevention (how things should be) • Promotion-focused CEOs engage in more socially focused initiatives. Prevention-focused CEOs engage in more governance focused initiatives and are more open to governance-based activism. • CEO promotion and prevention focus were related to identified strengths in these areas but did not reliably reduce the number of areas of concern.
