Change Management Launch Overview

CEO turnover rates in the non-profit sector skyrocketed by 85% from 2022 to 2023, underscoring the rapidly changing landscape. Yet, with 40% of new CEOs failing within their first 18 months, and nearly half of executive transitions faltering, proper preparation is vital.

CEO transitions present numerous challenges, such as diminished staff morale and culture, loss of trust, decreased effectiveness, and negative impacts on donor/funder relationships.

As former CEO of Best Buy, Hubert Joly, put, “While CEO succession is generally recognized as one of the most important keys to the long-term success of any company, the topic isn’t well-researched or documented. In addition, if you’re the CEO and/or owner of your company, you have typically had little to no practice with making a CEO transition.”
