Co-CEOs Rise in Popularity Despite Leadership Concerns

Co-CEOs Rise in Popularity Despite Leadership Concerns

Companies are starting to share the CEO job, with two people in charge instead of one.

Some companies, like Comcast and Spotify, are trying this out.

The idea is that with so much going on in the world, having two leaders might be helpful.

But, some experts are unsure if this is a good idea, worrying about who makes the final decisions.

While some co-CEO partnerships, like at KKR, have worked well, others have failed.

It's still a rare setup, and whether it works seems to depend on the people involved.
