directorless
Lacking executive guidance
Directorless means lacking a director—someone to guide, manage, or lead.
A directorless film has no single creative vision at the helm.
A directorless company operates without executive leadership, whether by design or circumstance: The organization drifted, directorless, after the founder's sudden departure.
