As CXOs return to the ‘6-feet economy’, their life both at the workplace and at home is far removed from ‘normal’. IMA recently conducted a detailed survey that sought to establish the sorts of issues top managers are prioritising in the wake of Covid-19; how they are dealing with stress; what skill-gaps they are looking to fill (and how); and whether they are re-evaluating their careers and post-retirement prospects. This report, based on inputs from nearly 400 CXOs across demographic and industry categories, covers the following parameters:

	Changing CXO priorities: We looked at four broad priority areas – leadership, business, people and technology – to understand where CXOs are spending more time, delegating more, directing more resources, or hiring new skills.
	Coping with stress: What are the most (and least) effective mechanisms used by CXOs to cope with stress?
	Skill sets: Where do CXOs believe their skill-gaps lie, and what solutions are they adopting to address these gaps?
	Career and retirement plans: What career related challenges do CXOs face on account of the present crisis? Are they looking for new jobs – and if so where and when? Alternatively, do they plan to take the entrepreneurial route?  How has Covid-19 impacted their post-retirement status and plans?
