Corporate Canada has a new strategy for firing senior execs: managed executive disengagement

Corporate Canada is shifting its approach to dismissing senior executives with a more strategic and less confrontational method called "managed executive disengagement." This involves a structured process to gradually ease out top management rather than abrupt terminations. Legal expert Howard Levitt notes this trend reflects a more sophisticated and nuanced approach to executive terminations. This shift matters as it signals a broader cultural change in how companies handle high-level departures, potentially reducing public relations fallout and fostering smoother transitions.
