    A new CEO takes over a business unit and is given 3 numbered envelopes by their predecessor. The envelopes contain messages to be opened when things go poorly. The first envelope says “Blame your predecessor,” which the manager uses to deflect criticism and buy time. The second envelope says “Reorganise,” which the manager uses to make changes and try to improve the situation. Finally, the third envelope says “Prepare three envelopes,”

    The board is also a problem. They are often made up of people that have no knowledge in the industries of these corporations and hire CEOs that have no knowledge of the industry.

    A very reasonable and sensible article; however the main issue as I see it was only briefly touched on - control, and power - heady indeed and highly addictive. Many never want to give that up, particularly men (the video was highly female centric, possibly for good reason). In addition, for the biggest companies, political influence - not just organisationally, but nationally - is a key factor which wasn't mentioned at all.
    I used to work with HR systems and one aspect never used by any company, though available, was succession planning. If this isn't followed generally within organisations, it's barely surprising it's not planned for at the highest levels.

    The real problem is golden parachutes for terrible CEOs who hurt the company like Boeings ex CEO.

      @samsonsoturian6013 18 дней назад +1

      That's simply not how golden parachutes work and not everyone has one. It's intended to make a boss unfireable by forcing the company to pay massive severance in the even of firing the employee. Companies are ok with it because it allows them to pay the executives a lot less. What you're really thinking about is how a lot of bosses are paid in stock options which SEVERELY incentivizes short term growth regardless of profitability. Boeing's problem was that management had mostly admin degrees and/or were diversity hires and they knew nothing about airplanes. New CEO is an engie, though

      It feels like a golden parachute is the objective in today's revolving doors of CEO's. Accountability is too short term for them to care about anything but an exit plan and a parachute.

    All companies should create an external administered survey for management and employees to provide feedback to senior leadership in a tiered survey method. The external agency will compile the feedback. That feedback should be used to create a 9 box succession grid.

    CEOs are like those at United Healthcare
    making a worse product/service charging more because you have a monopoly like product where no one can go to your competition or if they can. The competition is doing the same thing and paying their employees less and less every year so they can get more money and then also Dodge taxes making public services fall from being under funded

    The average tenure m of a CEO is five years
    Can we conclude that one of every five companies changes CEOs every year?
    No, we cannot conclude that one out of every five companies changes CEOs every year based solely on the information that the average tenure of a CEO is five years. Here’s why:
    1. Average vs. Distribution: The average tenure (mean) does not provide information about the distribution of CEO tenures. Some CEOs may serve for much less than five years, while others may serve for much longer. The average does not imply uniformity in turnover.
    2. Turnover Rate: For the claim that one in five companies changes CEOs each year, a constant annual turnover rate of 20% would need to hold across all companies. The average tenure of five years does not guarantee this.
    3. Example: Imagine a group of companies where 80% of CEOs stay for exactly 5 years and 20% are replaced annually. The average tenure is still 5 years, but the actual turnover pattern is not as simple as “one in five every year.”
    To conclude that “one in every five companies changes CEOs every year,” we would need additional data about the distribution and frequency of CEO replacements, not just the average tenure.

Estamos num mundo sem tempo ...e tudo gira em volta de resultados e pressão lucros rápidos!! Ser CEO tem segredos e mistérios?! A linha de pensamento que o sucesso tras dinheiro e consequentemente felicidade!! Parece que estamos a criar tiranos em vez de líderes?! A distinção entre preço e valor?!É preciso perceber que, afinal, tanto stress. não olhar a meios para atingir os fins ficarem sós e vazios, o esforço em vão é um disparate!, não é?!
