Leadership Development and Succession Planning: They’re Not Just HR’s Responsibility

We're making headway, but many executive managers in the public and private sectors still believe the human resources department is primarily responsible for leadership development and succession planning.

Control Freaks

It's happening again. We've been contacted by several clients all dealing with the same issue: current top management is ready to move on (retire, sell, quit, transfer to a new division, etc.) and there's no staff ready or able to replace them.

Developing Your Future Leaders: It’s Your Responsibility

Many business owners still believe their Human Resources (HR) department is primarily responsible for developing their organization's future leaders.

Directors Direct. Managers Do.

Recently a colleague asked me for advice to help him with one of his clients. My colleague's been working with this particular client for several years, but it's getting to a point of frustration where my colleague's ready to walk away.

How Managers Develop Their Employees

We're working with several organizations helping them prepare their next tier of managers to eventually take over the senior leadership positions.

I Want My Life Back!

Yep, I heard it again. A new client, a CEO, told my team prior to our first work session, "I want my life back. I love working, but I've got to stop working 80-hour weeks. Something needs to change around here."

Just One Thing

Being a manager or leader is a 24/7 proposition. There's very little if any down time. Yet to be an effective manager and leader, you need to be on the look-out constantly for opportunities to improve and enhance your own performance and that of your team. How is any mere mortal supposed to do all of this?

Leadership Hypocrisy

Leadership hypocrisy, that's a rather startling phrase isn't it? Truth be told, you're probably waiting to see what I have to say about some slimy individuals who have cheated their customers, scammed their vendors, and profited grotesquely while their employees have barely earned a sustainable wage.

Who is Key?

I had an interesting conversation the other day with a client. We were discussing her company’s strategic plan and the next step: the succession plan.

Clear The Roadblocks

Good managers run efficient organizations. Great managers develop solid teams of talented people to support and manage organizations efficiently. Good leaders identify opportunities and articulate a vision for their organizations.
