Book Challenge for Leaders

Book excerpt: "Although organizations cannot be fully prepared for the retirement of the Boomer generation due to the staffing shortages facing the workforce, they can implement knowledge transfer and succession planning activities by assessing internal talent, identifying gaps, and implementing plans to prepare for the next generation of leaders and the impact the generational transition has on the workplace. The author discusses the challenges facing organizations with the majority of the Boomer generation exiting leadership positions and entering into retirement, leaving potential voids within organizations if no action is taken. Strategies are suggested to help organizations to prepare for the exit of one generation and the entry into leadership to another. These include: internal benchmarking, creating a culture where knowledge sharing is encouraged and rewarded, identifying high potential talent, conducting succession planning activities, and accelerating development by implementing action learning programs aligned with business strategies, and holding leadership accountable to those plans. The author also discusses challenges and barriers as well as the potential impact of not having a plan in place at all."--Abstract.

Book Succession Planning in Nonprofit Organizations and Transitioning Millennials Entering Into Leadership Positions

Download or read book Succession Planning in Nonprofit Organizations and Transitioning Millennials Entering Into Leadership Positions written by Kanesha Wingo and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the past decade, leadership has changed. The faces of leadership are changing into a new group of leaders with different strategies for leadership. Millennials have entered the workforce and are aged to enter into leadership positions. Millennial leadership will change the culture and operation of the workforce because of the unique way they prefer to operate as employees. Research has found that most millennials are entering the workforce while baby boomers are leaving the workforce and opening leadership and executive positions (Doyle, 2014). It also finds that millennials are the most difficult group of employees to recruit and retain. This can become a challenge when looking for employees to fill executive roles or implement them into succession plans. The need for leadership positions to be filled by competent and qualified employees are essential for all organizations. This need is fulfilled by succession planning. Succession planning is a plan that places a qualified incumbent into a leadership role in the event of succession. The plan would include an analysis based on the needs, goals, and strategies of the organization (HR Planning: Succession planning, 2015). In non-profit organizations the need for succession planning is very important. In small nonprofits with less than 50 employees it is recommended to find talent from within the organization. This allows new leadership to become installed with the same goals and a clear understanding of the mission and vision. An analysis of existing research and of my own qualitative research finds that most nonprofit organizations do not have an effective succession plan in place. It also finds that nonprofits are not prepared for millennial leaders. A face to face interview with a leader at XYZ Corporation finds that there is a method in place in the event of succession. They also mention that there is not a model or policy in place to allow continuity. A survey monkey survey distributed to nonprofit employees finds that many are not aware of what succession planning is or have not heard about it within their organization.

Download or read book Succession Planning in Nonprofit written by Amanda N. Gibson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We found that there is insufficient information published related to the perceptions of nonprofit leaders or stakeholders regarding the value of succession planning. There is a gap in literature on the experiences with the process of succession planning, the barriers encountered during implementation and how nonprofits could best support the development of future leaders not to mention the lack of observation from the "first line" of this field. This book undertakes investigating succession planning, estimating the preparedness of nonprofits to deal with leadership turnover. By examining the involvement of respondents and their companies' level of preparedness for succession, we hope to finally provide a first answer to thee issues. After interviews with six nonprofit leaders, we can draw several conclusions. Leaders in nonprofit are aware of the numerous, various issues they must deal with on a daily basis. Non-profit leaders are capable of articulating what should be the requirements for a successor, and how challenging a transition (especially an unplanned one) can be. Yet why most of them have no written succession plan? Read to find out and stay tuned for the upcoming book exploring even more points of view. Use this invaluable resource for present leaders, their Boards, and anyone thinking about planning for succession.

Book Succession Planning and Management  A Guide to Organizational Systems and Practices

Download or read book Succession Planning and Management A Guide to Organizational Systems and Practices written by David Berke and published by Center for Creative Leadership. This book was released on 2005-06-24 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of succession-related practices is to ensure that there are ready replacements for key positions in an organization so that turnover will not negatively affect the organization's performance. CCL first published an annotated bibliography on succession planning in 1995. That bibliography focused primarily on the link between succession and management development. This bibliography has a broader scope; it is an update and expansion, commensurate with the maturation of this area of practice. In addition to linkages between succession and development, we also consider representative literature on CEO succession, high potentials, and succession systems and architecture. It is hoped that those who use this bibliography will find resources that help them in conceptualizing, planning, and implementing effective succession systems in their organizations.

Book Critical Elements of a Successful Succession Planning Strategy in Non profit Organizations

Download or read book Critical Elements of a Successful Succession Planning Strategy in Non profit Organizations written by Mark Ernest Tilbury and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This literature review examines 27 articles, spanning two decades, that offer both general and specific recommendations on the critical elements of a successful succession planning process. Although the precise definition of succession planning varies, most articles agree that, simply put, succession planning is "doing all you can to ensure you have the right people in the right jobs at the right time" (Hills, 2009). Regarding the necessity for a succession planning strategy in either the for-profit or non-profit sectors, several articles identify the aging baby boomer generation and their looming mass exodus from the labor market (Barnett & Davis, 2008). The articles encompass research into the practices of succession planning, with several offering suggestions for implementation of for-profit models in the non-profit sector. This paper examines the common elements of a successful succession planning process as well as the specific adaptation of succession planning to the non-profit sector. It concludes with recommendations for further research on the subject and suggestions for alternative ways of viewing succession planning in small and medium sized non-profit organizations.

Book Exploring Sucession Planning for Executive Leadership Positions Within Ohio s Faith based Organizations

Download or read book Exploring Sucession Planning for Executive Leadership Positions Within Ohio s Faith based Organizations written by Gilda Drammeh and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The predicted shortage in the number of qualified professionals available to fill vacant executive leadership positions is a significant concern for the non-profit sector. This qualitative multiple-case study explored the general problem of the potential lack of succession planning, resulting in the inability to identify future leaders within Ohio’s faith-based organizations. Specifically, this study concentrated on the selection process of candidates for executive leadership positions, and the succession planning process that contributed to a successful or failure to implement. In a purposeful sample, eighteen (18) senior leaders located in the eastern and western regions of Ohio, were selected for this study. As part of the conceptual framework, Hershey and Blanchard’s (1993) situational leadership theory were used to understand the group facilitator’s leadership style during succession planning activities. Data was collected and analyzed from semi-structured interviews, documents, and archival records. Findings are discussed from the perspective of senior leaders, which included current and former volunteers, and employees that previously participated in succession planning activities to appoint a new leader at Ohio’s faith-based organizations. Five themes emerged from the study and highlighted the strategies chosen by senior leaders as they prepared for succession planning activities. Furthermore, the results of this study and the future recommendations provided, contributed to the body of knowledge, and expanded the topic of succession planning for executive leadership positions in the non-profit sector.

Book Succession Planning Basics for Faith Based and Secular Organisations

Download or read book Succession Planning Basics for Faith Based and Secular Organisations written by Richard Dare Ajiboye and published by Triumph Busy Prints Limited. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into topical issues that are scarcely talked about in some organisations (secular and FBOs). It points out the sureness of succession just as death is, even though most organisations do less to think about the topic of succession until it is rather too late. Contemporary issues about succession planning were discussed using the Relay Race, Horse Race and God Factor Theories and their significance in identifying and grooming prospective successors for key and leadership positions. This book also emphasises the imperativeness of role transition either planned for or not and the attendant challenges of not planning for succession. It practically guides about how to start off a healthy and successful succession planning process from identifying prospective successors to leadership or role transition.Critical issues raised in the book and pragmatic solutions proffered have vivid applications in all organisations either FBOs or secular, which makes the book appealing to all organisations not minding its size, purpose or geographical location. The book comes at a time when some organisations are seeking to find solutions to organisational management challenges. Therefore, the book Succession Planning Basics for Faith-Based and Secular Organisations is recommended with confidence to general readership, especially to students of management, leaders in FBOs, captain of industries and as many as may want their ideals and philosophies to endure long after them.

Book Succession Planning  Developing the Next Generation of Nurse Leaders

Download or read book Succession Planning Developing the Next Generation of Nurse Leaders written by Patricia Hannon and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership development through succession planning is a business strategy to prepare nurses to assume administrative positions vacated by "baby boomer" retirees. The literature indicates that many healthcare organizations provide little or no formal education for nurses who advance to higher positions. Nurse leaders need skills in managing hospital business operations and in managing diverse individuals of different ages, ethnicities, and social backgrounds. Succession planning is a proactive strategy that retains intellectual capital and ensures that internally qualified candidates are prepared for leadership positions. The purpose of the study was to explore the implementation of succession planning programs in healthcare organizations for aspiring nurse leaders to understand how the programs are established, structured, and sustained.

Book The Impact of the Impending Generational Leadership Transitions on Women s Foundations

Download or read book The Impact of the Impending Generational Leadership Transitions on Women s Foundations written by Carolynn Lee Sween and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philanthropic sector faces a leadership transition as the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age and the next generation of leaders steps forward. Because many women's funds were founded by what is often called the second wave of U.S. feminist leaders, those funds may feel this transition more acutely than would organizations with less-specific philosophical and political agendas. This literature review begins with a broad analysis of generational differences, then explores the uniquely charged generational divide within the feminist community, examines the nuances of organized feminist women's philanthropy, and discusses leadership transition and succession in the philanthropic community. Based on conclusions from the literature review, the author includes recommendations for intentional succession planning using a feminist lens, the continued need for intergenerational dialogue and leadership development, and additional study on recently completed leadership transitions in existing women's foundations.
