Abstract

CEO succession has always been a critical juncture for organizations. However, these transitions become even more precarious during political realignments and rapid executive turnover. This paper explores how CEO succession, shaped by the shifting ideological landscape and frequent leadership changes, can either stabilize or destabilize organizations. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, this study investigates how political ideologies influence corporate governance, executive leadership strategies, and succession planning, with a focus on how companies adapt to such turbulence while maintaining corporate continuity.

Conclusion

CEO succession amid political realignments and rapid executive turnover presents significant challenges for organizations. This paper has demonstrated that successful CEO transitions during such periods require careful consideration of the external political environment, the organization's internal dynamics, and the ability to maintain leadership continuity. As political ideologies continue to shape the regulatory and economic landscapes in which businesses operate, boards must prioritize adaptability, foresight, and strategic alignment when selecting new leadership. Future research should explore how these dynamics play out across different industries and geographical regions, offering further insights into the complexities of CEO succession in a rapidly changing world.
