Why are external hires better? To avoid competition, some CEOs don’t hire those who could be qualified

This means the internal candidate pool is shallowThe “best qualified” could be the wrong person for the job

Internally promoted CEOs are less likely to change the status quo

More likely to stick to old standards Less likely to branch out into new ideas for growth

Experience is a plus Companies are less likely to find an experienced CEO by searching internally
