Depends on the position. What counts in the upper management echelon is how well they have laid down the rails for the company to drive on. If they continue to get work, it means they got a good recommendation or they have a good career "pedigree" (for lack of a better term) and their experience, reputation and knowledge is worth far more than how long they stay.

For example.. Say you own a game studio trying to get off the ground with games that boast bleeding edge 3D graphics for high end computers and VR. Would it be best to hire John Carmack, knowing he'll only be there for 6 months, but accomplish 2 years worth of work while he's there because of his depth of knowledge, or hiring some other guy for those 2 years to figure it all out?
