There\u2019s role confusion, in which employees default to the familiar leader, undermining the new one. Or there\u2019s dysfunction when the former CEO continues to operate in the shadows, or there\u2019s inconsistent communication from the two leaders. To set this transition up for success, boards need to think of it less as a single handoff moment and more as a carefully staged process that includes: 1) a clear transition charter; 2) a decision-rights matrix; 3) a formal transition plan with a timeline; 4) board alignment; and 5) public and private support of the new CEO. \u00a0"}
