When it comes to succession planning], one of the most important things is to learn to walk before you run.”
-Melissa Law
Succession planning is often a core responsibility for Talent Leaders. So much so, I decided to dedicate an entire episode to the topic. From ideas for how to do 9-box right, to whether it’s time to move on from the 9-box, we cover it here. This episode is your chance to hear two seasoned succession-planners discuss (very enthusiastically) what they’ve learned about succession planning and targeted talent development since first encountering it in the 90’s.
My guest is Melissa Law who is a former Talent Management executive and current Leadership Coach and this is her second visit to the show! I received so much positive feedback about her episode that it was obvious I needed to have her back! If you haven’t already listened to her episode, I invite you to go back and check out Episode #1. Melissa is highly accomplished and articulate and I was so interested in our discussion, I forgot we were recording!
In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:
🍏 How to move beyond the frustration of a “check the box” exercise
🍏 Several facets of agility to consider when assessing “potential”
🍏 Ideas for creating Acceleration Pools of talent
