This can involve the appointment or departure of key figures such as CEOs, managers, or team leaders. Leadership changes may occur due to various reasons, including retirement, resignation, promotion, organizational restructuring, or performance issues. Such changes can significantly impact the direction, culture, and operational effectiveness of an organization, often prompting a reevaluation of strategies, policies, and team dynamics.
