> You need a team who you can trust to execute without looking over their shoulder. A better solution, for the company, would be trusting the existing team. Being able to engender trust and showing leadership seems like what an executive should be paid for. The benefit for the exec is that installing their own team gives them a lot more leverage without needing those skills above - since it can be understood that a quickly-installed team will be quickly-uninstalled if you stop getting paid, leaving the company with a void. This is very high risk for the company and seems to me like it only comes about through poor management and nepotism.
