Hello out there. Dumping unproductive CEOs isn't a bad thing. But playing a never-ending game of executive musical chairs here is bad news. We need good executives to stick around longer and develop deeper roots. Tampa Bay's not alone.
Corporate turnover is everywhere.
Danka's Switzer wasn't the only CEO to depart Thursday. Sure, Tampa Bay still has a few top executives in place. Tom James has been CEO of Raymond James Financial since 1969. But among larger area businesses, longtimers are tough to find. Jabil Circuit's Tim Main was named president less than two years ago.
