The Seasons of a Ceo's Tenure
提出CEO任期存在五个可识别的阶段（季节），每个阶段影响高管的注意力、行为和组织绩效，对研究高管任期与公司表现关系的学者有参考价值。
This article proposes a model of the dynamics of the CEO's tenure in office. The central argument is that there are discernible phases, or seasons, within an executive's tenure in a position, and that these seasons give rise to distinct patterns of executive attention, behavior, and, ultimately, organizational performance. The five delineated seasons are (a) response to mandate, (b) experimentation, (c) selection of an enduring theme, (d) convergence, and (e) dysfunction. The theoretical and practical implications of the model are discussed.
