出其不意

Boards under pressure from investors are dismissing chief executives abruptly, which is leading to more hires from outside a firm or, if from inside, appointing a chief executive who represents radical change—such as Pfizer's promotion earlier this month of its general counsel, Jeffrey Kindler, who, in a break with the firm's tradition, is neither a scientist nor from sales.

一个公司的董事会迫于投资者方面的压力，会出其不意地罢免首席执行官，这样做的结果是公司会从外部招募更多的人，如果从公司内部提拔首席执行官的话，他将引发根本性的改变。例如，辉瑞公司本月初晋升其总顾问杰弗里-康德尔为执行官，这违背了公司的传统，因为康德尔既不是科学家，也没做过销售。
