Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job? Stanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.Viewers also liked (8)

Wahiba Chair's Talk at the 2024 Learning Ideas Conference. LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

English 2311 by Claudia Rivers
- 1. English 2311 Final Reflection By : Claudia Rivers
- 2. Table of Contents Course Objectives Unit 1 : Communicating with Employers Unit 2 : Formal Proposals Unit 3 : Usability Unit 4 : Instructional Documents
- 3. Introduction Claudia Rivers My name is Claudia Rivers and I am a sophomore pursuing a Kinesiology Degree along with a minor in Public Health . This class is a required prerequisite for my Athletic Training Masters . At the beginning I didn’t understand why a upper – level English class was required but as the semester went on I understand exactly why. English 2311 is a class that was very beneficial in every way and I encourage everyone to consider taking it !
- 4. Unit 1 : Communicating with Employers Flipping through the syllabus on the first day of class I began to really question why I was taking this class ! I saw the first unit titled “ Communicating with Employers” and said in my head “oh this will be a breeze” , As Kylie lectured about job materials I didn’t realize how many components actually went into a cover letter , resume and thank you letter . I learned and personally think that a cover letter will either make or break your resume because your resume can look incredible but if you aren’t stating the appropriate information in the cover letter then your resume will join the “not qualified” pile very quickly. I feel better about my resume and cover letter after working through this unit !
- 5. Unit 2 : Formal Proposal This unit was the most intimidating and scariest of them all . I would have never thought that I would have to actually draw up a proposal in my higher educational years or ever ! I was also worried about getting grouped with people I did not know but I have to say I wouldn’t want to be paired with anyone different than my awesome Group C . We all had amazing strengths and talents that aided in us creating a successful proposal . I appreciated this unit because it allowed me to be sociable in a class I thought I was not going to talk in and it allowed me to open my mind to do something that in the end was very beneficial.
- 6. Unit 3 : Usability Figuring out what communication problem was the easy part but trying to figure out what we were going to do to solve the problem effectively was the big question . After we put all our ideas out on the table we finally agreed on an application for the bus systems that Texas Tech students could use ! I think this was the greatest idea ever and honestly wish it could exist in reality. I had fun coming up with ideas about what the app should consist of and really enjoyed hearing feedback from our peers in English 2311 about what they would like to see if this were a actual application . This unit helped me really understand a technical communicators role better and we created something that could be very useful in the future.
- 7. Unit 4: Instructional Documents We use instructions with new products that we purchase but making an instruction set is no joke and I comment those who do it for a living .My group and I had some challenges with is but overall we achieved our goal of making our documents clear and precise . We understood the assignment but this unit was not as simple as it sounded . In this unit it taught me that there is a lot of planning that goes into making an instruction set and the instructions should always target the audience that it is intended for . The final product was amazing especially with out Editor and Designer Davian’s great skills put forth to our application it made everything worth while.
- 8. Reflection This class really opened my eyes to something new and exciting . I really enjoyed each unit because I gained so much knowledge from each one. This will definitely help me become a better and professional communicator in the work force. This class may have started off as being “pointless” in my mind but I am taking away so much valuable information and tools that “pointless” is no longer in my vocabulary . Like the old saying says “It doesn’t hurt until you try” and that indeed relates to everything in this class.
