Want your company to outperform? Get the right CEO—and don’t let go.
希望自己的公司能保持领先？你要找到那个“对”的CEO，并将他留住。
When John Chambers announced he would step down from this post as Cisco’s CEO earlier this week, he was one of the longest-serving execs in the country. His 20-year tenure is made all the more remarkable by the average for the rest of the Fortune 500 chiefs: a measly 6.9 years. But even Chambers’ run can’t compete with some of the other Fortune 500 veterans. Nine executives in the 500 have held the top spot for more than 30 years, and two for more than 50.
不久前，约翰•钱伯斯宣布将辞去思科公司CEO一职。他是美国任职时间最长的高管之一。相比《财富》美国500强公司CEO们6.9年的平均任期，钱伯斯20年的任期显得更加突出。不过与其他500强元老相比，即使是钱伯斯也要甘拜下风。在《财富》美国500强公司中，有9位CEO的任职时间超过30年，有两位的任期更是超过了50年。
Here, with the help of FactSet Research,we compiled a list of the longest-serving CEOs in the Fortune 500 and calculated their average annual returns. It turns out that, at least in these cases, wisdom really does come with experience: During their tenures, the stocks of all but five of the 7 companies outpaced the S&P.
在市场调研公司FactSet Research的帮助下，我们列出了美国500强公司任职时间最长的CEO，并计算出了这么些年来的公司股票年均回报率。结果证明，至少在部分情况下，智慧确实会随着经验的积累而增多：在他们的任期内，7家公司中有5家公司的股票跑赢了标普指数。

The Ohio-born son of Russian immigrants, Wexner propelled L Brands (and himself) into the upper echelons of the business world at remarkable speed. Today the 77-year-old runs an $11 billion multinational retail empire that includes Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works. He’s also been doing it for almost as long the average man born in 1937 could expect to live.
出生于俄亥俄州的维克尼是俄罗斯移民的后代，他带领L Brands公司（和他自己）以令人瞠目的速度登上了商界巅峰。现年77岁的维克尼目前依旧经营着这家价值110亿美元的跨国零售帝国，旗下的品牌包括内衣品牌“维多利亚的秘密”和护肤品牌Bath & Body Works。他经营公司的时间长度，相当于1937年出生的人的平均寿命。
