      Here in the UK we have this merry go round

      We see the migratory CEO phenomenon, but not within the same company. It's usually CEO' s employed by the public sector local authorities and banks who get massive payouts when they fail in their role, then the old boys network picks them up and finds them a similar job in the industry, pays them ridiculous amounts of money even with their poor track records. Their reputation is then 'bigged up' until they fail again and walk away with a massive payout and perks. Cue the merry go round again, and again and again.

      Its a fact of life - every US company and CEO is a stooge of the CIA and NSA...

    Built in redundancy

    This seems like a good idea, once the CEO team have had a few rotations to give and get experience. If the current CEO dies or goes obviously insane, they just push the body to one side and plug in a proven and acceptable replacement. No panic, no wondering if the new one is up to it - smooth transition.

    Fits perfectly into the Hive

    No-one is an individual. Anyone can be replaced - even CEOs

    That is how they think and work
