14 Preparation Ensure the organization is ready to search/hire: Organization is stable financially, politically, emotionally Smart, committed & available chair & committee Take the time understand the current & future leadership needs Requires assessment, reflection & planning Board is clear about the Four Big Questions driving the search: Who do you want to hire? What s the profile? Why? Why that profile? Link to future direction? What do you want new executive to do? Priorities? What do you need to do to get ready? Preparation Clear about handling internal candidates Clear about commitment to diversity Resist the temptation to hire too quickly Strive for a good ending with the current executive Consideration of bringing on an Interim ED/CEO Search & Selection Clear position profile that s not a dusted off old job description Smart, strategic search plan to market the position Robust outreach to build the pool Diverse finalist pool; to achieve begins with strategic outreach Multi stage vetting & interviewing process that nets a deep understanding of candidates Engage the staff in the process, but not in committee interviews Identify & address legacy issues and/or make them known to finalists transparency 14

15 Post Hire/Onboarding Appropriate announcement plan and actions Provide a solid orientation for the new executive Strive for a great launch New executive develops day entry plan, ideally before day one Pay special attention to relationships handoffs; new executive builds them early Pay attention to the board executive social contract Agree on month priorities Clarify roles, responsibilities & expectations Phases and challenges of taking charge Establish performance monitoring & evaluation process Organizational Planning Preparing the Organization for Transition Attend to the big four of sustainability Address the organizational barriers to executive readiness: Lack of an obvious successor Unfinished business Waiting for the perfect time Board and staff resistance to change Others: Make the CEO job more doable Deal with system issues: what needs fixing & areas over reliant on CEO Bring the CEO salary and benefits up to market rate Personal Planning Knowing When It s Time To Leave Are you personally prepared to move on? Employability/retirement; have something to move to Financially prepared Emotionally prepared Are you still the right leader? Do you fit the current and future leadership needs/opportunities? 15

16 Personal Planning Early Stage Planning Private musings: vacation/sabbatical/real change Clarify readiness to declare with whom & when Stealth or overt planning Depends on trust, culture and timing Stealth: external confidants, coach, trusted chair or past chair Overt: a broader circle of internal confidants exec. committee Have communications plan in place before going public Don t underestimate reaction think empathy & assurance Personal Planning Early Stage Planning Take necessary actions to get personal clarity Invest energy into creating the next phase of your life create or identify something exciting Pick a date and stick to it Avoid being pressured into speculating on plans before you want to or ready to Address any sticking points that make you feel like you are being held hostage or limit you choices Identify and deal with your personal barriers to readiness Building Leadership Within the Agency A Leadership Development Checklist Obtain a commitment to a leadership development program Assess the agency s present work and people needs Assess the agency s future work and people needs Establish a succession planning program Identify and develop individual talent Evaluate individuals and the program 16

17 Why Develop Internal Leadership? Succession Planning, when coupled with a comprehensive Leadership Development program, can prepare an agency for any unexpected departure of key staff, while also increasing the capacity of the organization to adapt to change and meet the challenges of the future. Why Develop Internal Leadership? Build agency capacity Strengthen human resources Tap the intellectual capital in the organization Help employees realize their career plans within the organization Improve employee morale by giving them a way to better themselves and be challenged Allow the organization to respond to changing environmental demands If downsizing is required, it provides information to cope with the effects of downsizing by knowing where organizational strengths are, and which positions are most critical to the sustainability of the agency Succession Planning Succession Plans for Executive Directors/CEOs Succession Planning for Board Leadership Succession Plans for Directors/Managers Long term Short term 17
