Americans are growing tired of CEOs lecturing them on social issues | Fortune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good morning. Phil Wahba here, writing from New York. A few years ago, the general public expected American CEOs to chime in on the social issues of the day, from gun control to racial diversity to gay rights.

Now, many Americans across the political spectrum have grown tired of all that discourse,
Lululemon's new CEO inherits a mess that looks like the one she left at Nike | Fortune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Lululemon Athletica announced in April that former Nike senior executive Heidi O’Neill was becoming its new CEO this month, the athleisure pioneer was already struggling.

He found the photos—and hundreds more—in the company’s archives soon after taking the helm of the brand’s parent company i
New data from BCG shows why the CEOs best at running companies are often the worst at leaving them | Fortune (opens the original)

Good morning. Phil Wahba writing from New York. Earlier this month, I wrote about how more companies, among them Verizon, Boeing and Cracker Barrel, have been hiring CEOs out of retirement, often in times of crisis. But why do these CEOs, who are presumably wealthy enough to never work again, accept a grueling new assignment in their sixth or seventh decades? A new study suggests an answer: They simply weren’t prepared for retirement. New data published by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in early
