Summary/Abstract: Based on Upper Echelons Theory, the aim of this study is to reveal whether CEOs (Chief Executive Officer) or general managers, who are the top managers of firms, are generalists or specialists in terms of managerial skills and how these characteristics are distributed according to sectors, based on their experiences throughout their careers. The managerial skills of the managers of the firms traded in the BIST 100 Index were evaluated with the General Skills Index developed by Custodio et al. (2013). Findings revealed that there are equal numbers of generalists (45) and specialist (45) CEOs. When the distribution of CEOs by sectors is examined, it is seen that the manufacturing sector is dominated by specialists and the financial institutions sector is dominated by generalist CEOs.
