I was in such a situation where I was in a quite new sphere, my predecessor had left a very full bried but in a 4 day hand-over it was inevitable that things were left out.
Until I mastered my brief I was beholden to him for his advice before he left and for a few months afterwards.
I imagine also at the very top there will be a desire to maintain continuity. I think most of us will remember when the top man pushed through his own beliefs - the QNH debacle - and what happened almost the day after he resigned - the return to QFE.
I suspect that
maintenance of the aim remains high on their list of 'must do's.'
