Probably the actual reason is conflict with the board, or being fed up / burned out with running the operation.

  Or perhaps "just" the wisdom to understand that organisations need a change in leadership from time to time, and that such change is best made (as stated) at a time when the organisation is strong and the pressures low. Every leader eventually runs out of steam. My own opinion is that leaders ought to pre-announce their resignation date on the day they take the job in the first place, and that date should be not more than 5 years after they start. Five years on and you're running on empty. Time to move on.

    There are a lot of family owned small and medium businesses. Their leaders do it their whole lives long. I like that.
