In the next decade, I think the frequency of co-CEOing, or a strong CxO/CyO founder-pair will increase and become a more effective pattern than single-CEOing. It used to be viewed as a bad compromise pattern, often investor imposed, but there’s more real reasons now. Yin-yang ftw

When there are yin-yang tensions in the world, it’s useful to have a pair of people reflecting the dominant tension. One person is not good at holding a paradox properly. For eg: a double down on China/home shore the manufacturing running debate at the top

I'm unconvinced. I think the trend is less about external environment than CEO control / perception. Often one "co-CEO" is the "founder" and the other the "management", where it keeps it ambiguous unlike previously explicit CEO/COO or Exec Chair/CEO pairs.
