Why would you ever want the person in charge of corporate leadership, vision and strategy to be a lame duck right from the get go? Great CEOs are the glue that provides continuity between vision and strategy. My recommendation is not to hand-cuff or bridle your CEO, rather give the CEO room to lead, maneuver, innovate and succeed.
