New data from business networking platform Linkedin has revealed a surge in the number of C-suite executives taking e-learning courses under lockdown.
According to Linkedin's survey of 1,000 registered C-suite executives, 20% were taking classes in order to become "better leaders", while the other 40% were learning to "succeed at their current job". They said C-suite execs spend around six hours a month on their platform, and are typically reading four books at once.
