Rising demand for senior executives is giving top candidates opportunities to write their own tickets to the C-suite and leading many to decline attractive opportunities that may have been more appealing in leaner times.

"The A Players are much more selective about pursuing transition options, but they're also pouncing on the opportunity to get what they want."
Slayton also points to a spate of recent studies that document an increase in executive job transitions and a move by employers to change their pay practices to match a tightening and more competitive job market.
