I’m not 100 percent sure on what your point is but I’ll try to answer to the best of my ability. The only situation I can see when that might be an issue is when a project leader gets promoted to a higher position which may have the ability to choose the continuation or end of a project. It’s probably too rare to talk about though.I agree with Anthony and jb678 in that the only opinion that matters is that of the shareholders (they’re the “boss” in a public company. The wrong decision loses them and you money, which may lead to your termination if it’s shown that the wrong decision was made by you. If I misread your post, let me know. I believe this answers your question.
