Strategic Succession Planning: How To Identify And Develop High-Potential Employees
Is your organization prepared for a smooth transition in the event of an expected – or unexpected! – vacancy in the leadership team? Do you have promotable employees who are fully ready to step up into leadership roles when the time is right for them and the company?

Being in this situation is the key to preventing avoidable gaps in key leadership positions, but it's not something that just happens naturally. Even if you have high-potential, leadership-minded employees on your team, you'll only be in a position to deal with leadership gaps without skipping a beat if you have identified them and taken steps to ensure that they're ready to transition to leadership roles at the appropriate time.

This is why succession planning is such an important part of any company's strategic talent management and staffing plans. Utilizing effective succession planning strategies is the best way to proactively identify and train team members who have the potential to move into high level leadership roles, thus reducing the chances that you'll face a leadership crisis when attrition occurs at the highest level of your organization.

Companies that don't properly utilize succession planning strategies often find themselves in the position of having no viable internal candidates when there are openings on the leadership team. This leads to looking outward to source key positions that greatly impact the company's vision and mission – and it's hard to find just the right person with the right skills who is also a perfect fit for your company's culture.

While there are always situations when external recruiting is the best option, succession planning keeps you from having to look outside your own ranks every time, with no possible internal candidates. It also helps you keep you high performing workers because high performers want to work for companies where they see potential to advance to the highest levels.
