MSP Manpower Succession and Planning –The Challenges of Leadership Transition (25th – 27th September, 2024)
About The Programme
Leadership transition is an integral process for all managers of an organization. It begins long before (and continues long after) the outgoing manager departs, and it presents a remarkable opportunity to move forward with a new understanding of the complexities, challenges and changes the organization must address.
Succession planning is the process that organizations use to identify and prepare candidates for high-level management positions that become vacant due to retirement, resignation, death or new business opportunities. Although succession planning usually refers to high-leadership roles in a company, it can apply to other roles as well.
One of the most disruptive things that can happen to a company is the sudden need to replace a leader/manager. Without a defined plan in place, a leader’s/manager’s departure can create confusion and massive risk to an organization’s stability.
No matter the type or size of an organization, succession planning is essential to continue to have the business run smoothly upon the departure of staff members. It is important therefore to identify a successor well in advance so that they may be properly trained for the role. This training may occur years in advance of the anticipated exit from the company.
There are many advantages of succession planning, including cost savings, increased retention, and improved morale.
Organizations need to ask themselves: where will the top executives of the future come from and who will be their replacement? Succession planning helps to recognize that future executives may differ markedly in qualifications, characteristics and skills from today’s leaders.
