DISCUSSION
Succession Planning Questions
Posted in the
Training & Organizational Development Forum:
A member writes: "My organization is looking at establishing a formal succession planning process. I’m interested in hearing how others have addressed the questions below:
1. How do you identify potential successors?
2. How do you share your process with employees?
3. Do you usually ask for employees with an interest in growth or are they handpicked based on leadership discretion?
4. How do you communicate with potential successors—i.e., that they are not being guaranteed promotion?
5. How do you communicate with those not selected as successors as to why they were not selected?"
