Employee Retention and Mentoring

These activities used to be optional in many businesses. Not any longer. Over one third of the United States workforce will retire in the next 20 years. With them go the leaders who have had more impact on the world than all of the previous generations combined. Having an healthy succession plan has become as key an ingredient to business success as cash flow and profitability. Globally, identifying and growing the next wave of leaders is one of the most important things we can do to insure the long term sustainability of our economy.

There are three elements of leadership succession. We work in all of them:

• Finding the next generation of leaders
• Preparing the next generation of leaders
• Helping the existing leaders and internal O.D. Professionals learn to mentor, coach and support the next generation while also learning to let go

The most delicate of these three is the last one; helping existing leaders learn to coach and teach more and let go of the reins of control. Lots of attention goes to the emerging leaders in a succession process. The people who make succession work are existing leaders. We’ll show you how to tap into the limitless resource they represent.

Succession needs to happen in concert with the rest of the business; not by itself. Call us to discuss you succession needs and we’ll share with you what we know works.
