Succession or a ceiling?

Issue #7 · 8 October 2026

In March, we wrote about planning for the next phase of leadership. October's observations raise the other side of that question: when does a lack of room to grow make good people leave? Read the earlier passage alongside this issue's 37% signal. New draft

Passage from Issue #5 · 31 March 2026

“As of Q1 this year, three quarters of the mandates we're engaged on at Forme are replacements for incumbent leaders. Boards are continuing to coach and educate their CEOs on the right way to plan for succession; recognising when someone has gone as far as they can go; and timing hires to prepare the company for its next phase of growth.”

This is the supplied passage only, not the full March issue. Placed together as editorial juxtaposition, not evidence that the same organisations or candidate pools were studied.
