Leadership and Structure

Succession Planning

Organizational structure of a business defines the “what” and “how” of the way work is to be performed. Clear definition of resulting roles and understanding of role expectations are essential to role performance. The choice of the individual permitted to occupy a role is one of the most important decisions made by business leaders.

CEO’s in top performing business organizations spend an inordinate amount of their time on ensuring a strong strength-of-fit for persons chosen to fill key leadership roles, both now and in the future. This includes active development of internal future candidates to be considered for such leadership roles, including the CEO role. Such succession planning practices ensure that the business has deep “bench strength” and are vital to ensuring the ongoing health of a growing business.
