The announcement sounds familiar.
Target’s new CEO Michael Fiddelke is trying to shake things up with a plan to increase candor and honesty within the company. He’s not the first to try this approach – Macy’s CEO Tony Spring also emphasized the importance of candor in October. Fiddelke’s plan includes overhauling categories and adding more space to grocery sections. The company’s shares rose 7% on Tuesday, but it remains to be seen if this plan will be enough to turn things around.
It’s a familiar story: a new CEO comes in, promises change, and touts the importance of honesty and transparency. But will it be enough to save Target?
