Succession Planning
Consulting Intitiative: Succession Planning
Many a time it has been found that
when a very senior manager / an HOD
leaves the organization - the
organization struggles for direction as
no capable successor has been groomed.
In this context succession planning is
of vital importance for the survival and
growth of any organization. Succession
planning is the process of identifying
existing employees from your
organization and developing them further
to fill in the key leadership/managerial
positions. While organizations think of
creating managers from their existing
team of junior level executives, it has
to keep in mind that this change should
produce results in-sync to the
expectations of increasingly challenging
and demanding marketplace. This means
that organizations will have to do a lot
more than improving the efficiency of
their executives and changing the way
they viewed their world and conducted
their business. This also means
transforming their established thinking
patterns, and also modifying their
existing behavior.
