Week to date, shares of Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM) were up 13% through Thursday's close, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence . The move higher came after the company announced key leadership changes that management believes put the business in a better position to deliver long-term returns for shareholders.
