This chapter discusses how CEO and top management team succession can affect a number of important organizational outcomes. The first section is organized around the broad kinds of changes that a succession might engender, how the process of succession can impact the new leader's early survival prospects, and the going-in mandate of new leaders. The second section focuses on the overall performance implications of leader succession, a topic that has garnered a great deal of research over the years. The notions of scapegoating and insider versus outsider succession are examined. The chapter then discusses contextual factors such as the stage of organizational life cycle, organization-level changes that accompany the succession event, and institutional factors (such as discontinuous change). It then reviews the literature on shareholder reactions to succession. In the next section, the discussion expands beyond the CEO level to consider both the TMT and some specific positions below the CEO level (e.g., the CFO). In the final section, a variety of issues related to succession are discussed, including temporary succession, SBU leader changes, and post-succession “settling up” among organizational leaders.Less

The seven activities in this chapter are a deeper dive into the disability experience. The effects of disability-related fatigue are explored in an activity that takes place over 1 week and in a second activity that requires making difficult choices about ways to reduce fatigue. The third activity has students immerse themselves in a disability venue. The fourth activity, done in small groups, focuses on microaggressions, collecting data from 10 disabled people about microaggressions experienced. The fifth activity has students experience television using captioning to explore what is missed in information given to Deaf people. The sixth activity has students pick one problem for people with disabilities and to write the appropriate official requesting a specific change, using data, an example story, and a proposed solution. The last activity assumes some level of clinical skills and involves making clinical responses to eight vignettes involving individuals, couples, or families with disabilities.Less
