The signs at Target were clear long before the CEO change
The signs at Target were clear long before the CEO change.
A June survey of 260,000 employees showed only 40% feel confident in the company’s future.
That’s not an optics issue — it’s a culture problem.
Why it matters:
- Culture breaks down internally long before it shows up in headlines
- Headlines can swing overnight, but rebuilding belief inside takes time
- Operational fixes won’t last if employees don’t buy in — and that always flows through to the stock
At Eagle Talon, we ask simple but decisive questions:
- Does the transition rebuild trust, or just change headlines?
- Can the new CEO realign systems around clear signals and regain momentum?
When leadership, structural changes, and trust align, recovery compounds.
When they don’t, company and stock price volatility follow.
