GET READY FOR YOUR NEXT GREAT LEADER
The above situation left the organization incredibly vulnerable to a disaster. It could've been avoided with a little succession planning.
It wouldn't have taken much to put a plan in place in case a leadership transition is needed.
Succession planning is the strategy of developing new leaders to take the place of current leaders. It's about investing in the next wave of leadership that will take your organization into a brighter future.
Some people mistakenly think of succession planning as an executive director hand-picking someone to take his or her place when they retire. This common misconception is no longer popular today and it is certainly not what succession planning is all about.
We think of succession planning as an overall leadership development strategy permeating every level of leadership in your organization.
How amazing would it be to know that you had a steady stream of upcoming leaders within your organization that were trained to step up when called upon?
