Abstract

Legacy. Succession may remove the leader, but not the way of doing things—at succession, a legacy of policies and norms is often formally enshrined, even if it no longer suits the competitive context and reduces the effectiveness of the organization.
Psychology. Fear of mortality, development of trust, and loss of identity are psychologically profound challenges to both the departing leader and the organization left behind that are eased by the assurance of continuity.
Cultural History. From political history, we take the need for prudent choice; from religious history, the importance of the mantle of the founder; and from business history, the convention of generation spanning ownership defending a lasting legacy.
