6. Core Principles Underlying Succession Planning • Leaders really do matter … in managing/driving accountability, results, culture. • Performance is what counts … top performers over high potentials • the “what” & “how” both count. • Today’s top performing leaders aren’t necessarily tomorrow’s … • even our best leaders can fall behind or derail. • Talent is an enterprise resource … willingness to share talent makes • the system work. • A broad set of experience & assignments is the best classroom … • yet a balanced approach is still necessary for development. • It’s incumbent upon today’s “top-performers” to leave a legacy of future talent … • current leaders must teach, mentor, & role model others on what • it takes to succeed. • Invest in the best … focus the rest.
