Should the leaders leave or stay when they have been in that position for a long time? In the past time it has been thought beneficial to keep their leadership. However, it's proved that it's actually harmful for the leaders and the enterprise to keep certain individuals in the position of leadership. 5 years is proper for most cases.
It's true that changing the leaders frequently will result in confusion. After all, the new leaders need time to get acknowledged with details and learn the relationship within the members,
for it's hard for individuals to acquire enough information before be assigned and truly in control of the enterprise. And the difference between the policy and ideas of the old and new leaders also result in the necessity for a period for the members to get used to the change. Thus the switch calls for adjustment of both the leaders and the subordinate.
For instance, Donghai Restaurant, concerning the business of seafood in the town where I live for 15 years, has been changing its owner for 5 years at the frequency of about one leader for one year. At the first 10 years the residents there thought it to be promising for the tastes and the service is the most satisfying, and the staff was believed to be excellent, while it was proved to be failure for the quick changing during the first 5 years and this company is still a small one instead of expanding at the rate of other peers. Too frequent the change would damage the stability, thus the period during which the enterprise is in the control of certain individual should be long enough for ensuring the continuousness of the policy.
However, keeping in the highest position for too long a period would lead to stagnation, which has been proved by history. Being leadership for too long a time, it's hard for the individuals to keep from being arrogant, for the authority would be increasing with the time flees. It's known that the absolute domination of emperors is proved to be failure, not only for that it's monocracy, but also for the long period that the governor has been in control thus lose the anxiety to promote the policy. After all, the leaders would think their leadership has achieve perfect or it's hard for them to find more flaws in their policy as long as the policy has been proposed by themselves. Thus, in order to make change, the enterprise need for new leadership when the leaders had been in position for a long time.
In addition, new leaders could bring about new thoughts and ideas thus the enterprise would be instilled with vigor. Keeping under the leadership of others, one could find it easier to find fault with the policy of the former leaders, thus reform could be easily motivated by the new leaders. It's also that different people have different thought that complement the ideas of leadership. This is also accounting for that in most countries, the leaders of provinces and of the state should be reelected for 4 to years. Necessarily through new leadership could the enterprise be revitalized.
In conclusion, even though stability is important to achieve great goal, it's essential for enterprise to make changes in order to keep vigorous, which could be achieved by new leadership to some extent.
