Should CEOs have term limits?

BBC Radio 4 - The Bottom Line, Should CEOs have term limits?

Would it be good for businesses if CEOs faced term limits?

Evan Davis hosts the business conversation show. CEOs on average serve for just under six years. Would it be better for businesses if CEOs served fixed-term limits?

In some countries politicians have fixed term limits. What would happen if the same principle applied to CEOs? On average bosses in the UK stay for just under six years. But founder chief executives stay much longer. Evan Davis and guests discuss whether chief executives know when their time is up? 

Guests:

Martin Gilbert, co-ceo, Aberdeen Standard Investments.
Margaret Heffernan, author and entrepreneur
Catherine Bright, a leadership consultant with Spencer Stuart.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
