Preparing to pass the baton

Succession planning matters. Organisations that have stayed on mission have spent time and energy thinking about succession and preparing for it. Take a moment to reflect on how you might prepare to pass the baton to the next generation of leaders.

1. Reflect on your organisation’s current approach to leadership development and succession planning. Is there a succession plan in place to ensure the organisation stays on mission over the long term? If not, what are some potential risks or consequences of neglecting succession planning?

2. Consider your own role within your organisation. How can you be proactive in preparing for a future transition or passing on the baton to a future leader who takes over from you? What steps can you take to ensure that the know-what, know-how and know-who are effectively passed on, and the passion for the mission is sustained after you leave?
