• The use of an interim CEO is more likely following a forced CEO succession. • Even when succession planning has identified an heir apparent, boards may still select an interim CEO when turnover is forced. • Succession planning early in a CEO’s tenure is critical, as boards select an interim CEO when succession occurs in the first three years of a departing CEO’s tenure.
