Succession planning is always important for organizations. However, planning for C-Suite transitions is critical. In smaller, privately-held organizations, transitions to second generation leaders have a whopping 60% failure rate. Transitions to third generation leaders fail nearly 90% of the time. In larger organizations, C-Suite transitions typically lead to sustained performance, or performance decline. Organizations that have ongoing success are methodical about selecting and preparing C-level successors.

In this webinar, you will learn:

Why succession planning is critical for organizational success
Key steps required to create effective succession plans
How to avoid landmines in the planning process
How to gain leadership buy-in and support for the process
