School of Business researchers at the University of British Columbia have found
that a person’s date of birth can affect their climb up the corporate ladder.
The Sauder
study shows that only 6.13 per cent of an S&P 500 CEO sample was born in
June and only 5.87 per cent of the sample was born in July. By comparison,
people born in March and April represented 12.53 per cent and 10.67 per cent of
the sample of CEOs.
