Succession: Are You Ready? 

Facilitated by Marshall Goldsmith and Phil Harkins

Economists predict that the crest of a wave of simultaneous retirements in 2011 will result in a global demographic crisis. Marshall Goldsmith’s latest book, Succession: Are You Ready? addresses this timely, critical issue from the perspective of the outgoing executive and the future executive.

Most organizations struggle with the simple concept of succession planning because it is not tied to performance metrics. During the first half of the workshop, participants work with Linkage CEO, Phil Harkins, to learn a metrics-driven system to approach performance and talent management. Set up a natural succession-progression-development system for your organization and return prepared for immediate implementation. 

The second half of the program will be led by Marshall Goldsmith, one of a select few executive advisors who has worked with over 100 CEOs and their management teams. Dr. Goldsmith will discuss the human (and often ‘un-discussed’) elements of the succession process.
