How do PMs’ careers & contexts shape their success? We analyzed of 131 cabinets across 11 CEE countries (1990–2021) to find:
✔ PMs are more experienced than assumed
✔ Contexts are stabilizing (e.g., fewer oversized cabinets).
Take away: CEE PMs & their challenges are far from uniform!

We validated the questionnaires’ reliability and validity & found:
✅ Performance ≠ duration. Many short-term PMs outperformed expectations, while some long-serving PMs underperformed.

Had a great time in Münster, such a good looking city and university.
