A new CEO was promptly appointed, to arrest further damage to the reputation of the company. However, the board was acutely aware of the complex web of challenges that continued to plague the company. This company, like many others in India and internationally, was characterized by the first generation entrepreneurs who co-founded and promoted the business. The company had flourished for more than thirty years under the able leadership of one of the co-founders. The board faces a strategic dilemma - how to steer and support leadership decision with an eye towards the future while managing the current reality?
