Why Succession Management? "Within the next five years, the average company will lose 30% of its executive staff." Yet, "Only 1% of companies rate their succession management plans as excellent."
--The War for Talent, McKinsey & Co., 1998
A Succession Management Program transitions the leadership skills, management talent, and institutional memory from one set of employees to another. It also maintains business continuity and builds employee morale.
Why Leadership Development? "In a survey of 6,000 managers and executives, 40% reported company growth was limited because they did not have the right talent, and 75% reported their company is chronically short of leadership talent."
--The War for Talent, McKinsey & Co., 1998
"What is the single most important thing a CEO can do to maximize company performance? The answer is to creatively, aggressively, and systematically build the capabilities of the company's middle management team: the vice presidents, directors, and managers."
--J. Byrnes, Middle Management Excellence, Harvard Business School, 2005.
A leadership development program is an important and valuable initiative for organizations because it supports the top management efforts to implement new strategic initiatives and efficiently manage the company's operations. Building middle management capabilities is the underlying key to success for two reasons:
1. Virtually all major strategic initiatives have to be carried out by the middle managers.
2. A strong middle management team will produce outstanding operational results.

Mentoring is ideal for any business - from large and small-sized organizations, to private and government agencies, to non-profits and start-ups.
