Why Bill Gates and Larry Ellison are unusual
Research by Prof. Noam Wasserman's research shows that a very low percentage of founder-CEOs actually hang around for a long time. Either they move on or are thrown out. Strangely enough, this seems to be true regardless of whether the firm did well or not and this works for large and small firms!
Very interesting. It is tough not to argue with the explanation. The two organizations that I have worked in during the last seven years certainly do justify the findings, in one way or the other.
