A recent survey shows that engagement among your top executives may be falling faster than any other group of employees, according to the Corporate Executive Board. (Read BusinessWeek article here.)

A CEB survey showed that just 13% of senior executives at the vice president level or higher (down from 29% two years ago) say they are willing to go above and beyond what is expected of them.”
 
CEB speculates that most companies feel that senior leaders are “just grateful to have a job.” But the reality is, “valued players are increasingly likely to be looking around.” According to the survey, one of four “high-potential employees” plans to quit their job in the next 12 months.

The CEB says that compensation based on merits is the best way to keep them in place.
