The Cost of Having a New CEO
21st May 2015
In this short FT Video, Andrew Hill and Brooke Masters discuss how, according to a recent study, the appointment of a chief executive can undermine shareholder value.
Some useful insights here, particularly for students who want to develop their analysis of the potential impact of new leadership by pointing to the likely disruption to a business that is caused by the appointment of a new CEO.
Hill and Masters briefly explore the example of Tesco's recent CEOs, comparing and contrasting the approach taken to a planned succession (Sir Terry Leahy passing onto Philip Clarke) and the subsequently external appointment of "Drastic Dave" Lewis.
