Succession Planning: Developing Leaders Before It's Too Late   

Organizations often discuss the brain drain that lies ahead in the next decade, but only a few managers take sufficient action to prepare for it.  The pressure to manage today's priorities leaves organizations with precious little time to implement strategies for tomorrow.  However, neglecting the next generation of leaders can lead to significant disruptions.  This class assists you in seamlessly navigating changing times.  It provides a systematic approach to ensuring readiness for key staff departures while also addressing related concerns such as organizational restructuring, filling newly created positions, backfilling roles following promotions, and expanding new endeavors or markets.

Upon completion of this class, you will:

  • Have a refreshed understanding of the role of leadership in setting direction, creating structure and managing culture.
  • Have learned the payoffs of having a continuous employee development strategy rather than being forced into rapid succession in a crisis.
  • Understand the value of hiring from within and in bringing in fresh talent from the outside.
  • Be able to develop strategies for managing various succession planning issues such as creatiing opportunities fo staff to expand skills and increase value, the relationship between succession planning and managing change and instelling mentoring in the key areas that require it.
  • Have an implementation plan based on your organization's readiness, lifecycle and capacity.
