  "description": "You argue the operator — almost always the CEO — is the binding constraint\non the target's value, and propose a specific replacement (or a\nspecific search criterion + interim CEO). The thesis: the strategy is\nfixable, the assets are fine, the people are not.\n\nThis pattern almost never travels alone. It pairs with **villain naming**\n(the diagnosis), **governance critique** (the mechanism — board change\nenables CEO change), and **operational turnaround** (what the new CEO\nwill do).",

Pairing the right operator with the right asset can\n  triple multiples.\n- **Specific replacements convert sceptics**. \"Replace the CEO\" is\n  abstract; \"Hunter Harrison closed the operating-ratio gap at CN by\n  18 points and can do the same here\" is concrete.\n- **It side-steps strategy debates.** Management can argue your\n  strategy is wrong; they can't credibly argue they shouldn't be the\n  ones to execute it if their record proves otherwise.\n- **Boards often want to act but lack cover.** A public activist\n  campaign provides the cover for an internal palace coup that was\n  already simmering.",
