Doesn't this apply to any company, though? Pan Am faltered after Jusn Trippe, but SWA did well after Herb Kelleher stepped aside. So the problem isn't that the founder dies or leaves; that happens everywhere. The problem is that successors don't have the company's or shareholder's welfare in mind.
Given that we have management with short term goals, what do we do about it?
