English term or phrase: corner office
Each day, it seems, another well-known business icon departs, forced out or pressured to retire by corporate directors seeking change. But if the celebrity CEO is out of fashion, what exactly is in vogue in the corner office?

More than vision, more than long-term strategizing and certainly more than facility in front of a TV camera, many boards want CEOs who can mind the store. Pragmatism and a focus on day-to-day operations and the bottom line is in. So is being a team player with directors and other senior executives.

ufficio con la poltrona in pelle nera
Explanation:
non vorrei dire una sciocchezza, ma facendo una ricerca in internet, il corner office viene sempre associato ai dirigenti d'azienda: forse perché essendo l'ufficio in angolo è il più luminoso e quindi quello più ambito?
Se così fosse, un possibile equivalente (dagli echi quasi fantozziani) potrebbe essere la poltróna girevole in pelle nera, riservata alle più alte sfere aziendali.

Does She Need a Corner Office?True, women are scarcely represented at the pinnacle of Corporate America. Now it can be told why that is.

Quindi:
Se la moda ci dice che il CEO è \"out\", che cosa è \"in\" negli uffici con le poltrone in pelle nera?

agree  Valentina Matone: sì il corner office è l'ufficio di rappresentanza o come in questo caso del CEO. come dici tu è il più bello e luminoso e posto nell'angolo privilegiato dell'intero ufficio (di solito negli open plan).
