SUCCESSION AND CAREER PLANNING |
|
All organisations , whether in the private or public sectors, need to be able to
find people with the right skills to fill key and top leadership jobs. In a climate
of growing skills shortages and lack of confidence in the leadership potential of
the existing workforce, interest in succession planning has revived. Modern succession
planning has a broader vision and close links to wider talent management practices.
The course will give participants the skills to ensure that there is a healthy pipeline
of potential leaders in their organization by identifying potential senior managers
and planning their career.
