“In the U.S. population, about 14.5 percent of all men are six feet or over. Among CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, that number is 58 percent.” The CEO phenomenon suggests that people favor tall people.” – Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell
When I saw the headline, I realized that we don’t hear about short men or women as CEOs. Certainly a headline like “Short on height but not character, new CEO has a big job ahead.”
The CEO phenomenon is not limited to the corporate world. Americans prefer tall presidents as well.
