21st Century Leadership from Leadership Excellence international
You may be the leader today, but we will need new leaders in the future. Share your skills and allow others to learn by leading projects now. They will strengthen their skills to become the leaders of tomorrow and probably have to adjust their show size.
Succession planning SHOULD NOT only be done at the top of the organization. Each level of advancement requires additional leadership training, from team leader to foreman, from manager to director, and so on.
Most organizations keep promoting their best leaders and leave their replacements to struggle. Leadership training is essential for the technician or service provider who moves into a leadership position for the first time. It should be the current leader’s responsibility to help prepare the person who will replace them. The leadership growth of your replacement will be crucial to the success of the department or team you leave behind when you move up.?
Start training the person who will replace you when you reach the next level by letting them try to fill your shoes today. Your succession planning will ensure a smooth transition and a winning situation for everyone.
Follow Michael Wader for more leadership habits and skills to propel you to become a successful 21st Century Leader.

11 个月I like the first part of my contract to be the need to find a successor, Mike. It focuses me and the company. It could be that after a contract, I become my successor, but rarely.

11 个月This puts me in the mind of change management. In organizations or businesses with great change management culture and systems in place, this question, "who will fill your shoes" is an everyday question. I often imagine that tomorrow may not be, so I don't miss an opportunity to share what I know and have experienced to help my team. I don't want an exit of regret.
