When your CEO quits but stays until March cuz even breaking up with a board demands a slow-release, Lululemon keeps us all stretching for patience.
Nothing says 'leadership agility' quite like the phrase 'comprehensive search process' that basically means 'who wants this?â
If quitting a CEO job involved staying on as an advisor, I'd call it the business worldâs version of a 'consulting breakup'.
