Creating a jewel in the UK’s crown, and lessons in CEO longevity: in conversation with Dame Cally Palmer, CEO at The Royal Marsden
Few chief executives spend more than a decade in any individual role: in the FTSE , the average tenure is six years, and CEOs in the S&P rarely lead for longer than seven. Dame Cally Palmer, Chief Executive of The Royal Marsden, is an exception to this rule. Now one of the top-five cancer centres in the world for research impact, The Marsden’s success makes clear that there are lessons we can all learn from her leadership.

In her more than two decades at the helm, she has deftly balanced transformation with perpetuating the organisation’s long-standing heritage of excellence and innovation.

"We've made very significant progress, the backlog was at an all-time high of around 34, last summer," Dame Cally told the Health and Social Care Committee.
"Last week it was 23,, so we've dropped by about 10, but there
