Why CEOs of failing companies jump ship...or don't

(University of Arizona) The strength of an executive's social network may influence whether he or she stays or goes when a company starts to falter, according to new research led by the University of Arizona. CEOs who have strong personal relationships with business colleagues and key external stakeholders are less likely to jump ship. However, those on the opposite end of the spectrum -- whose social networks are very weak -- are also unlikely to quit, since their opportunities are more limited.
