Have you thought about who your “replacement” is? It doesn’t matter if it’s a formal position or just someone you see potential in. What matters is that you want to invest in someone.

In this episode about succession planning, here are the points covered:

– In sports, teams are always rebuilding with new talent

– Similar to the corporate world, building your talent pipeline is crucial because the knowledge will eventually “leave the room”

– At the heart of leadership development, who will take your place?

– This is bigger than you, so who are you investing in?
