In April 2012, Huawei has adopted a rotating CEO model in which which a small group of executives take turns to fulfill CEO duties. At the time, Mr. Ren Zhengfei said a group of rotating and acting CEOs should be more effective, compared to a single CEO, who is otherwise expected to handle multiple affairs each day. The rotating and acting CEOs take turns leading the company for six months. After the rotational period is over, the non-acting rotating CEOs will still be part of the company’s decision-making nucleus.
