The results of a recent CareerBuilder survey showed a surprising trend among people seeking to climb the corporate ladder – there’s not as many of them as you may think.
According to the survey, “Most American workers are not aiming for the corner office,” and “approximately one third (34%) of workers aspire to leadership positions, with only 7% aiming for senior or C-level management.”
The top reasons employees give for why they are not seeking to advance include:
- 52% are satisfied with their current role
- 34% don’t want to sacrifice work/life balance
- 17% simply do not have the necessary education to move into leadership roles
