The Journey From Heir Apparent to CEO: Win, Wait, or Walk?
研究CEO在权力交接中的影响力，发现强势CEO会降低接班人晋升的可能性，而业绩差的公司中，权力大的CEO反而更可能留住接班人。
The article discusses research on executive succession which found that incumbent chief executive officers (CEOs) are highly influential in the process of power transfer. The author speculates that CEOs maneuver to avoid the loss of influence, prestige, and money that comes with stepping down while they are still in a position of power. A strong CEO will typically reduce the likelihood of an heir apparent moving up into their position. Poorly performing firms, however, are less likely to lose an heir apparent when the CEO is in a position of great power and assuming responsibility.
