Succession Planning and Leadership Development
----------------------------------
- Not everyone can be a leader.
- Good leaders have natural talents.
- Leadership qualities are predictable.
- If you are not planning and measuring leadership you are not leading.
First a definition:
Leadership: Persuading others to transcend their personal concerns and to pursue a collective goal that is meaningful for a group and that will further their collective welfare; it is persuasion, not domination; it involves creating cohesive and mission-oriented teams; and effective leadership has a direct causal relationship to team performance.
Yes, leaders stumble into your midst. But the most successful companies understand that leaders have natural talents like visioning, creativity, perseverance, and the ability to relate well to others. Excellent companies look for natural leaders and then help them improve.
Leaders must develop other leaders to fill their responsibilities when they are ready for different responsibilities. You need a plan or you risk leaving detrimental gaps in the leadership of your business causing a domino effect of chaos. These gaps can come from unexpected attrition, poor hiring, or overlooking the value of critical employees.
