Companies often fail to pivot if they don’t have the founders still involved.

Few outside leaders have the credibility to risk seismic changes to a business model for an established company.

It happens, but it’s a lot less common.

You can find plenty of examples of companies with founders that failed to pivot, and companies without founders that did pivot. I'm not aware of any research showing a correlation between those things.
