Proven Leadership or Fresh Blood?

Life observations have shown that successful examples usually come from experience, which no doubt makes big difference. Interesting stories about success have always something to do with professionals who have been in business for a good time. That should be taken into consideration when organizations plan their business.

I do agree that to many leaders hang on out of pride or what ever and then comes the problems.

By all means, women CEOs should all leave now so that the men can step in and save the companies. Just look at the mess that Carly Fiorina made.

I wonder when CEO's resign under these circumstances if it means they see the comapany's future and they don't like it.

Regardless, better to leave too soon than too late. If only Sumner Redstone understood this.

"Proven leadership" is quite similar to saying "we're gonna have some FUN." Both are the results of deliberate thought, careful planning and effective execution, even though there are people who will claim all this before anything has happened. Today, a company can't afford the learning curve of "too much pay to too little experience" and hope that 'time-in-the-job' will offset for former. Maybe the alternate title should have been "Fresh blood or fresh meat."

Generally, yes, too many leaders -- even effective ones -- hang on too long. "Fresh blood" does bring fresh ideas, and constant change and adaptation are keys to success in any organization. I don't have any suggestions as to how to counteract the tenacious grip that many leaders use to cling on to their respective positions. It takes a unique leader to recognize when it's time to move on, and actually do so.

Very few people are qualified to be CEO, much less a great CEO. A company fortunate enough to have two can afford to let one leave. But for most everybody else, if you have a good CEO, keep that person. A bird in the hand, folks.

Olde money versus New money much?... Go ahead... begone. But don't EVER' presume that the CJ won't be following You.

they came, lead and now with obama, they want out...
most ceo's have enough money to not have to worry about money...
sooner or later, the lynch mobs will go away, but only after obama goes away...

"Proven leaders?"

The existing, pre-Obama order, has seen fit to endorse, permit, or tolerate treason at the highest reaches of American government for generations: Rockefeller's creation of Big Oil on unredressed murder and arson (Viz. Tarbell's FIRST edition); the domestic finance of Hitler and Nazism from the Roman Catholic collection plate through Vatican banker Rockefeller-front Prescott Bush (Viz. Google: "Thyssen Prescott Auschwitz"); the assassination of John Kennedy, by Richard Nixon, GHW Bush, and the Knight of Malta-led Roman Catholic CIA, six weeks after he ordered our military's withdrawal from papal fiefdom Vietnam, and removed Rome's correspondent bankers of the Fed from its unconstitutional control of our money supply (Viz. NSAM263 and EO11,110); the 'Bush v. Gore' fraud perpetrated by only the Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court (Viz. Breyer dissent); and Bush's and Cheney's committing 9/11 as a "Reichstag Fire Redux" to send us to false war for power and profit, to restart the Afghan heroin trade, and to shore up the Rockefeller-ally Saudis (Viz. "The New Pearl Harbor," by PhD Emeritus Professor Griffin, now a free download on Google Scholar).

Mammon-worshipping philistines, fascists and traitors run Big Business in America.

Time to extirpate Rome's "Fifth Column."

The People need to "get in front of Obama" or the Anti-Christ will "JFK" him, too.
