Succession Planning matters!

Very interesting to see the FT https://www.ft.com/content/1455b324-76b0-11e6-b60a-de4532d5ea35  picking up the importance of succession planning even when a healthy and very committed senior executive such as Antonio Horta-Osorio is in place. Directors can never really know what is just around the corner and you always need a plan in place. Analysing the skills in your management team  https://hillcoates.com.temp.link/what-we-do/#leadership_consulting and at least knowing who the executives out there are who can remedy gaps https://hillcoates.com.temp.link/what-we-do/#executive_search_and_succession_planning let alone being ready for unexpected developments surrounding a key executive, is a key responsibility of Chairmen and their Boards.
