Atlanta is in the process of a notable restructuring. That will include a new head coach and general manager after last night's firing of Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot. Other moves have been made as well, though. Longtime CEO Rich McKay has continued expanding his role into other areas of the Arthur M. Blank Sports and Entertainment organization, and today marks a key point in a five-year succession plan for his replacement.
According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, the Reds are among the clubs tracking the 20-year-old. Yldz has been one of Juventus' standout performers this season, contributing seven goals and six assists across all competitions. Comfortable operating across the front line or drifting into pockets as a second forward, the Turkey international is viewed by scouts as one of the most complete attacking prospects in Europe.
Many British entrepreneurs, after building successful businesses and accumulating wealth, look to minimise risk and diversify their assets. Yet in the UK's tightly regulated financial landscape, shaped by evolving tax rules, changing inheritance frameworks, and increasing regulatory scrutiny, this familiar step is only part of the journey. More than just banking solutions, today's entrepreneurs often seek something broader: a complete, compliant approach to managing their wealth - from structuring and succession planning to intergenerational transfers and sustainable investment strategies that traditional banking only partially covers.
The Rugby Football Union has no plans to begin talks with Steve Borthwick over extending his contract beyond 2027 for the foreseeable future despite England's 11-match winning streak and autumn clean sweep.

But, despite the indisputable significance of a founder's strong presence to provide direction and shape the culture, is it wise for a company to be unable to survive without them, even for a short time? If a short-term absence of a few weeks halts operations and makes it impossible for everyone to perform their daily tasks, then the organization is not truly thriving.
The research centered around a model that probed the selection of 1,345 CEOs from 900 S&P 1500 firms between 1990 and 2020, and found that generally lower CEO performance versus expectations following succession correlated with higher experience among the directors who chose them. But there was a catch - this was the opposite when the CEO involuntarily left (where previous experience led to a better hire). Where the CEO voluntarily left, previous hiring experience meant weaker performance from the candidate appointed.
To nab the jaw-dropping pay package that could make Elon Musk the first trillionaire, the Tesla CEO first has to find his successor - eventually, anyway.

Whoever eventually steps in to replace Musk will have a big job to do, leadership experts told Business Insider.
