Succession planning is one of the critical decisions an organization has to take, irrespective of its size. It is on this vital endeavor that the future of the organization rests. It is not, as many organizations think, just about promoting a few employees into higher positions. It is a collective and continuous effort which begins with prospecting employees for the next major change.
Employees must be handpicked for this job without fear or favor or nepotism, and should be phased into the leadership role for the future. Grooming the future leadership is never a onetime job. The organization has to be extremely diligent about selecting the next crop of leadership that can take the organization through both the smooth and turbulent times. Most challenges and crises come unannounced. So, the organization has to choose employees that it is confident will ensure that the organization is able to withstand the tough times.
Dr. Strauss, who has nurtured and clients from business, education, healthcare, law, and government organizations; will explain the futility of continuing with the fragmented and piecemeal approach to leadership succession that most organizations in the US and the rest of the world are taking currently.
Succession is more than replacement
She will show the importance of moving away from the “replacement” mind-set that currently characterizes most organizations’ leadership succession attitudes into inculcating strong strategic initiatives that require rigorous consideration. Management should ensure that the right people are moving into the right jobs at the right time, and at the right pace. These are some of the scenarios that the speaker at this webinar will address at this session.
Some of the key strategies that managements adapt include how they constantly develop employees for mobility and leadership, identifying key employees that demonstrate the kind of intuition and resilience that the organization needs for succeeding in a challenging market, providing the opportunity for career planning for employees, providing lateral development opportunities, and assigning new challenging project assignments that demonstrate leadership potential and build the necessary skills. Dr. Strauss will offer insights into these aspects at this webinar.
She will cover the following areas at this webinar:
o Identify where in the organizational structure succession planning should begin
o Discuss leadership development as a fundamental element of succession planning
o Describe leadership development tools, opportunities, and activities
o Distinguish the roles of those involved in succession planning.
