MCCE is McKinsey’s dedicated offering for CEO development for both in-role and aspiring CEOs. MCCE is anchored on the six dimensions described in CEO Excellence (Scribner, March 2022), written by McKinsey senior partners Carolyn Dewar, Scott Kellar, and Vikram Malhotra. These six dimensions—setting the direction, engaging with the board, aligning the organization, mobilizing through leaders, connecting with stakeholders, and managing personal effectiveness—are further broken down into 18 behaviors. The research underpinning the book is based on more than 20 years' worth of data on 7,800 CEOs from 3,500 public companies across 70 countries and 24 industries.
There are two flagship MCCE programs – the MCCE CEO program involves a unique nine-month learning journey, whereas the MCCE Aspire program is a six-month long learning journey. Both programs are tailored to help in-role and aspiring CEOs elevate their performance and reach their full potential. Each MCCE cohort brings together an exclusive group of peers, carefully curated from diverse industries and regions, and offers an unparalleled opportunity for CEOs and aspiring CEOs to learn from
experienced senior CEOs, engage with like-minded peers and obtain feedback on their leadership style and behaviors.
