The document discusses 8 common mistakes made in succession planning and how to fix them. It provides case studies of companies that made these mistakes, such as assuming succession planning is only an HR program, trying to do too much too fast, and failing to sustain succession planning efforts over time. The key mistakes are not having senior leadership buy-in, lack of flexibility, taking on too much at once, lack of individual development plans, and not maintaining succession planning as an ongoing process.
A crisis of shortages and gaps in talent at U.S. companies is gathering on the horizon. The coming wave of retiring business executives at companies in the developed world, extreme shortages in the numbers of their replacements, looming
gaps in the talent and skills of these replacements, global competition for talent, and falling birthrates in the developed world are some of the key forces acting together. This crisis is powerful, it will radically change companies, and the effects will be felt for a very long time.
Commentators are currently polarised around the future of the HR function. Some suggest that the function is about to enter a boom period as after several years of cajoling, organisations are placing far greater emphasis on talent management and putting strategic HR activities at the heart of the business. On the other hand, others believe that HR is still struggling to rise to the challenge and is destined to remain a transaction based cost centre for the foreseeable future. As with most things, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. This article explores the evidence for both perspectives and suggests that solving apparently intangible human capital problems is the best way for HR to profit given current circumstances.

The American Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) has identified employee engagement – inspiring and motivating people to excel at work – as the biggest challenge faced by its individual and company members. The traditional response of most organization leaders has been to throw money at the problem. In this executive brief, the author draws from his own wealth of leadership experience, and from the findings of numerous specialists in the field of leadership development and employee engagement, to offer a more compelling and effective alternative.
Many believe that the selection of the CEO is the single most important decision that a board of directors can make. In recent years, several high profile transitions at major corporations have cast a spotlight on succession and called into question the reliability of the process that companies use to identify and develop future leaders.
In this Closer Look, we examine seven common myths relating to CEO succession. These myths include the beliefs that:
1. Companies Know Who the Next CEO Will Be
2. There is One Best Model for Succession
3. The CEO Should Pick a Successor
4. Succession is Primarily a “Risk Management” Exercise
5. Boards Know How to Evaluate CEO Talent
6. Boards Prefer Internal Candidates
7. Boards Want a Female or Minority CEO
We examine each of these myths and explain why they do not always hold true. We ask:
• Why aren’t more companies prepared for a change at the top?
• Would directors make better hiring decisions if they had better knowledge of the senior management team?
• Would they be more likely to hire a CEO from within?
• Would they be more likely to hire a female or minority candidate?
• How many succession should a director participate in before he or she is considered “qualified” to lead one?

Strategic Human Resource Management
MAJOR QUESTIONHow do effective managers view the role of people in their organization’s success?
THE BIG PICTURE
Human resource management consists of the activities managers perform to plan for, attract, develop, and retain an effective workforce. Planning the human resources needed consists of understanding current employee needs and predicting future employee needs.
How do you get hired by one of the companies on Fortune magazine’s annual “100 Best Companies to Work For” list—companies such as Google, SAS Institute, Boston Consulting Group, Edward Jones, and Genentech, which are on the 2016 list?12
You try to get to know someone in the company, suggests one guide.13 You play up volunteer work on your resume. You get ready to interview and interview and interview. And you do extensive research on the company—far more than just online research, as by talking to customers.
And what kinds of things does an employee of a Fortune “Best” company get? At Google (now part of Alphabet), the Mountain View, California, search engine company (ranked No. 1 Best Company seven times in the last 10 years), you’re entitled to eat in 1 of 11 free gourmet cafeterias, take your dog to work, get haircuts on-site, work out at the gym, study Mandarin or other languages, have your laundry done free, and get virtual doctor visits. You may also be a candidate for millions of dollars in compensation incentives, special bonuses, and founders’ awards.14
The reason for this exceptional treatment? “Happy people are more productive,” says Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, now executive chairman of Alphabet.15 That productivity has made the company an earnings powerhouse; for 2015, for example, it reported a 14% growth in revenue and 38% growth in profits for its core Internet businesses.16 Google has discovered, in other words, that its biggest competitive advantage lies in its human resources—its people.
Human Resource Management: Managing an Organization’s Most Important Resource
Human resource (HR) managementconsists of the activities managers perform to plan for, attract, develop, and retain an effective workforce. Whether it’s McKenzie looking for entry-level business consultants, the U.S. Navy trying to fill its ranks, or churches trying to recruit priests and ministers, all organizations must deal with staffing.
The fact that the old personnel department is now called the human resources department is not just a cosmetic change. It is intended to suggest the importance of staffing to a company’s success. Although talking about people as “resources” might seem to downgrade them to the same level as financial resources and material resources, in fact, people are an organization’s most important resource.
Indeed, companies ranked No.1 on Fortune magazine’s Best Companies list in the past—which, besides Google, include SAS, NetApp, Genentech, Wegmans Food Markets, J. M. Smucker, Edward Jones, and The Container Store—have.
How to Build and Maintain a Premier OrganizationLucas Group
An important trend facing organizations across all industries is bridging the knowledge gap between outgoing employees and those who remain or are hired to fulfill their work. Despite a stubbornly persistent unemployment rate in the U.S., attracting and retaining people who can positively impact your company remains a considerable challenge to building and maintaining a premier organization. Triggered by Baby Boomer retirements, companies must develop systematic ways to attract the best, retain the best, and hold on to the knowledge that the best contribute to their organizations.
