    For many of us seeing this play out on the national stage is a sight to behold. Especially because the change is coming with such reinvigoration. Your senior leader can also be graceful, create the proper messaging, and get behind the new leader. That way, the organization will not suffer through the transition, but may even see a boost after.

    When we planned this post, we did not know that national events would illustrate some key points about succession planning!!! What we did know is that recently, we have heard from many organizations that are working on succession planning. Here are some situations that are coming up (details changed for confidentiality): The executive director of an arts organization announces that he is leaving at the end of the year. Board members are not sure about their role moving forward. The executive director of an environmental organization is likely to leave sometime in the next year or two; It isn’t clear exactly when. Again, board members do not know what they should be doing. The founder and long-time executive director of a large social service organization is likely to leave in the next few years. Since she has been with the organization for a long time, there are rumblings that she should leave sooner. But no one knows how to tell her that, especially since she has raised millions of dollars for the organization. The above situations demand succession planning - for the organization’s leaders to take some steps in advance of a leadership shift, and make some important decisions together.
