Tips for Succession Planning - An Intro for HR

Succession planning is more than just a game of thrones! It's about building a pipeline of ready and able leaders. But where do you start? This week I delved into the complexities of succession planning with Dr. Nanette Miner. She is an author, consultant, and succession strategist, and broke down the process of succession planning which is mostly preparation. As the video below says, you need a pipeline not a single individual. 3️⃣ Succession planning takes a minimum of 3 years. Maybe this is why few organizations do it well. 🔍 You need to start with the metrics. 📈 Succession planning is building talent not buying it. 🎯 Avoid personal bias: what served you in the past may not serve you in 5-10 years. Nanette believes that leadership should be instilled from day one and that every employee should be given development opportunities. Leadership is a behaviour that takes a long time to learn.
