| Happy New Year! Even as we sweep up the glitter, we’re already looking ahead to Davos, the World Economic Forum’s annual summit that’s kicking off on Monday in Switzerland. To help executives prepare for the meeting (and, yes, the schmoozing), we’ve interviewed hundreds of CEOs about their plans and priorities, successes and struggles as they look ahead. We collected the wisdom of that illustrious crowd in our new article “What matters most? Eight CEO priorities for 2024.” In this edition of the CEO Shortlist, we look closely at four of the priorities that CEOs say are guiding their plans for the coming year. (For a closer look at the other four, check out our previous edition.) We hope you enjoy the read and have an energetic start to 2024.

| | The Waffle House way? Yes, it’s hash browns “scattered, smothered, and covered.” But it’s also about how the casual restaurant chain identifies star performers operating at the middle of the management hierarchy—and rewards them handsomely while keeping them in their jobs. This philosophy represents a modern, destigmatized view of middle management, one that recognizes that promoting people is good, but always moving them “up” can be bad for them and for business.
Pass the syrup, please. Read “Middle managers are the heart of your company,” one of our most thought-provoking articles from 2023, by Emily Field, Bryan Hancock, and Bill Schaninger.
