5  PracBcal  Tips  for  Succession  Planning  1.   Get  ExecuNve  sponsorship  and  support.  2.   Change  the  name  of  the  process  from    

“Succession  Planning”  to  “Succession  Development”.  

3.   Invest  in  your  best  people  (your  High-­‐PotenNals)  

4.   Measure  outcomes,  not  process.  

5.   Keep  it  simple.

WHAT  MAKES  A  LEADER  EFFECTIVE?  

Page 7

Page 8: 2014 7 17 pihra succession planning long beach_v2

A)  Think  of  a  person  you  personally  know  (or  worked  for)  and  you  consider  an  effecBve  leader.    What  is  ONE  behavior  this  person  demonstrates  that  makes  him  or  her  an  effecBve  leader?    

B)  Think  of  a  person  that  you  personally  know  (or  worked  for)  and  you  consider  an  ineffecBve  leader.    What  is  ONE  behavior  this  person  demonstrates  that  makes  him  or  her  an  ineffecBve  leader?

Exercise  “Leadership  Traits”  

Page 9: 2014 7 17 pihra succession planning long beach_v2

Leaders  don’t  get  appointed.    It’s  earned  through  behavior.  

 You  only  become  a  leader  when  other  

people  want  to  follow  you.

PercepBon  Mabers  

We  judge  ourselves  on  our  intenNons.    We  judge  others  on  their  behaviors.  

I  think  I  am…    

§  driven,  determined  and  goal-­‐oriented    

§  Confident  

§  Smart    

§  Humorous,  fun  

Others  see  me  …  

§  impaBent  and    stubborn    

§  Arrogant    

§  “know-­‐it-­‐all”    

§  SarcasBc,  cynical

Exercise:  Change  a  Behavior  

A.  Pick  ONE  behavior  you  want  to  improve  that  will  help  you  personally  and  in  business?    

B.  Write  down  two  reasons  why  do  you  want  to  change.  (what  benefits  will  you  get  from  changing  the  behavior?)

Apply  the  FEEDFORWARD  Concept    Apply  Three  Rules    

 1.  Listen  without  judgment    2.  Take  notes    3.    The  only  response  is        “Thank  you”

Focus on the Future, not the Past

Feedback:    Input  or  data  about  the  past.  We  cannot  change  the  past,  we  can  learn  from  it.  

Feedforward:    Ideas  or  suggesNons  for  the  future.    Let  others  help  you  change.    

past   future  NOW
