RE:Sue is Doing a Great Job, But We May Need a CO-CEO in 23 ???JohnnyUtah44,
I think Sue will do just fine. You are losing sight of the fact that the CEO role is to ensure that the company's strategy is executed. Each division will have a COO or President that reports to Sue who along with the remaining senior management team and the BOD set the direction and objectives for each division.
As commercialization happens within other LOBs, leaders will be hired or promoted from within for each. They will then become the division specifc voices.
The last thing any company needs is co-leaders.
