Does Your Legacy Matter: The Art of Succession Planning
Converted from ThinkLab '08, Session 748

Friday, October 3, 2008 / Noon–1:15 p.m., ET
Live from Six Rivers Chapter in Ohio

The legacy of your leadership is determined by what happens after you leave your office. Your successor is usually held accountable for these events, as effective succession planning rarely gets put on an executive’s priority list. As a leader and executive in the health-care profession, and as a professional who cares about the excellence of your body of work, you need to engage in aggressive succession management. Active succession management is one of the best ways to protect the long- term health of an organization. The conventional wisdom for succession management involves beginning the process early, looking inside the organization, and developing experience and skills in prospective successors.

This session will present effective and experience-proven succession management tactics used by benchmark organizations. It will add innovative and unconventional wisdom to your own practices, and generate open discussion about several case studies where succession management is an art.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
• Recognize the value and importance of succession management.
• Create and support a succession planning and development culture.
