Tougher at the top is the latest Audit Commission report, issued in July. The document examines changes in the labour market for single-tier and county council chief executives, and it comes to three key conclusions: 1. turnover rates have increased because the job is more pressured. 2. recruitment sources have changed, as the nature of the job has changed. 3. salaries have increased, due to increased competition for candidates. The report identifies some of the leadership challenges and changes in recent years which have created a far more demanding job.
