For the second year, Deloitte's Business Confidence Report reveals that America's top leaders, CXOs and CXOs-in-waiting—the latter including those who are next in line to the C-suite—have a very high level of confidence despite global volatility. Results show 69 percent of CXOs and 56 percent of CXOs-in-waiting feel very confident they will outperform the competition in the next year. However, some doubts are emerging as executives, particularly those just outside the C-suite, struggle with how to transform their businesses and disrupt their industries in an unstable marketplace. Consulting caught up with Janet Foutty, CEO and Chairman of Deloitte Consulting to discuss the survey results.
