Boards have no process for developing or identifying the next generation of CFOs,

Being a leader today requires a new level of performance. One that overrides fatigue, can suppress internal signals, and absorbs constant urgency, all while rapidly context-switching. Simply said, modern leadership demands have increased, and not everyone is-or wants to stay-on board. Today's leaders face growing expectations, dynamic responsibilities, and constant pressure to perform amid deep uncertainty and an ever-accelerating business ecosystem.

Everything done over here is never from panic, it's always long term idea and or something that has been thought about for a long time and not only one person. Of course, we are aware of the fact that Virgil won't play for 10 years but he has one-and-a-half years [of] contract left, so he will be with us for that time, maybe longer even longer if he keeps staying fit as fit as he is now.

Based on years of post-transition reviews, MNP has identified seven traits common to successful farm families, MacLean says. First, they start early. Early planning allows flexibility and time to work through the tough stuff. Clear, respectful communication is the second trait - and it's essential. Families who talk openly and establish expectations avoid the dangerous territory of unspoken assumptions. Farms that navigate the process well have a shared vision.

Atlanta is in the process of a notable restructuring. That will include a new head coach and general manager after last night's firing of Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot. Other moves have been made as well, though. Longtime CEO Rich McKay has continued expanding his role into other areas of the Arthur M. Blank Sports and Entertainment organization, and today marks a key point in a five-year succession plan for his replacement.

According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, the Reds are among the clubs tracking the 20-year-old. Yldz has been one of Juventus' standout performers this season, contributing seven goals and six assists across all competitions. Comfortable operating across the front line or drifting into pockets as a second forward, the Turkey international is viewed by scouts as one of the most complete attacking prospects in Europe.

Many British entrepreneurs, after building successful businesses and accumulating wealth, look to minimise risk and diversify their assets. Yet in the UK's tightly regulated financial landscape, shaped by evolving tax rules, changing inheritance frameworks, and increasing regulatory scrutiny, this familiar step is only part of the journey. More than just banking solutions, today's entrepreneurs often seek something broader: a complete, compliant approach to managing their wealth - from structuring and succession planning to intergenerational transfers and sustainable investment strategies that traditional banking only partially covers.

The Rugby Football Union has no plans to begin talks with Steve Borthwick over extending his contract beyond 2027 for the foreseeable future despite England's 11-match winning streak and autumn clean sweep. Borthwick's contract runs until the end of 2027 but with England halfway through the current World Cup cycle and currently third in the world rankings, the RFU chief executive, Bill Sweeney, has no immediate intentions of discussing an extension in a sea change from the union's previous approach.

But, despite the indisputable significance of a founder's strong presence to provide direction and shape the culture, is it wise for a company to be unable to survive without them, even for a short time? If a short-term absence of a few weeks halts operations and makes it impossible for everyone to perform their daily tasks, then the organization is not truly thriving.

Choose your heroes very carefully and then emulate them. You will never be perfect, but you can always be better.

The research centered around a model that probed the selection of 1,345 CEOs from 900 S&P 1500 firms between 1990 and 2020, and found that generally lower CEO performance versus expectations following succession correlated with higher experience among the directors who chose them. But there was a catch - this was the opposite when the CEO involuntarily left (where previous experience led to a better hire). Where the CEO voluntarily left, previous hiring experience meant weaker performance from the candidate appointed.

Michael O'Leary stated that he will not run for the 'non-job' at the Áras and reiterated the importance of implementing an 'aggressive' tax on Airbnb.

Now, I find that my greatest pleasure is helping the next generation of impassioned editors.
