LHH Executive Search releases 2026 leadership and salary report

LHH Executive Search, a division of the Adecco Group, has released its second Leadership and Senior Management Report 2026. The report analyzes trends transforming the roles of CEOs and management committees, while providing 2026 salary bands for executive positions across various sectors, including banking, insurance, energy, infrastructure, legal, real estate, life sciences, and retail.

The report highlights that the business environment in 2026 is increasing demands on senior management due to geopolitical uncertainty, cost pressures, and technological acceleration. These factors are forcing leadership teams to revise business priorities and decision-making processes.

A key finding is that artificial intelligence has transitioned from a purely technological discussion to a fundamental matter of business leadership. Ainara Ormazábal, director of LHH Executive Search, noted that the ability to discern and identify what is truly relevant has become a critical competency for executives navigating complex and uncertain scenarios.
