Some Groupon Inc. directors plan to discuss a possible leadership change amid concern that Chief Executive Officer Andrew Mason is mishandling the company’s turnaround, a person familiar with the matter said.

Mason’s role as CEO will be considered in a regularly scheduled board meeting tomorrow, said the person, who asked not to be named because the issue is private. Mason responded to reports on the planned discussions by saying he’d fire himself if he weren’t suited to the task.
