Balázs Viczián, regarding "First as interim (as a 'probation period') then if the staff feedback meets the pre-agreed satisfaction level on agreed key areas, as permanent."
Well, staff feedback and after independent, critical assessment from each board member. Earlier in this thread, I think, Pete Forsyth recommends that the interim ED be clearly and purely an interim, not a probationary ED, and I'm persuaded by his arguments.

Hi all,
reading all the above, my 2 cents would be: Internal promotion (in a broader sense: a current or ex-employee or someone 'close and experienced enough').
First as interim (as a 'probation period') then if the staff feedback meets the pre-agreed satisfaction level on agreed key areas, as permanent.

On the Vision thing -
There is a leadership vision, and an organizational/movement vision.
The leader should articulate theirs. The organizational one needs to
come
from everyone but would likely be articulated by the ED after that
process.

I think you're misinterpreting.
The agree/disagree statement was: "Senior leadership at Wikimedia have communicated a vision that motivates me" (7% agree)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2016-01-06/News_a...
See also, this quote in glassdoor, quoted in the Signpost as well: "The Executive Director unveils a new strategy every three months or so."
So, it's not that people wanted the vision solely from the ED/Management, it's that they wanted a not constantly changing one.
This is getting off topic, however.
The point is, a vision does not need to come from one person, which you agree with. A good vision comes from many people working together collaboratively. Then sticking with it to see it through. Consistency
is
needed in an ED.
