On Wednesday morning, the Board of Directors of Men's Wearhouse (NYSE: MW) announced that it terminated founder George Zimmer from his position as Executive Chairman. In the view of analyst Richard Jaffe of Stifel Nicolaus, Zimmer had trouble "letting go."
"We believe that despite Zimmer's planned transition to a smaller role at the company, he had difficulty letting go of the reins and the leadership of the business," said Jaffe. "We believe that this led to a conflict with the board and his subsequent termination."
Jaffe thinks management has been running the business effectively and he also thinks its long-term viability is still positive.
