Succession in Leadership
To manage retention and succession, as well as support rapid growth strategies, USHER & ASSOCIATES helps SME leaders to develop active talent management processes to support their present and future strategic initiatives. This involves:
- defining key leadership roles and developing competency profiles for success;
- identifying high potential internal candidates through in-depth assessment and existing performance management data;
- objectively assessing potential and readiness for future leadership roles;
- creating and contracting on Leadership Development Gameplans©;
- implementing accelerated learning and development opportunities to more quickly build the leadership bench strength for achieving future business strategy and goals; and
- continuously monitoring progress and making refinements as required.
To meet the needs of SME businesses in their various stages of growth, succession planning needs to:
- involve the CEO;
- be aligned with company strategy, competencies and values;
- have the support of senior management;
- link succession management plans to business strategy;
- involve line management in identifying candidates;
- use developmental assignments;
- be simple in design; and
- evolve as the business grows and changes
