Bad succession plans are bad for business. Most companies fail to get it right. Many see it as who's next in line. Others put future leaders through programs to “grow them up."

But how do you approach succession planning, and where should you begin? Whether you’re a supervisor, manager or chief, if you don’t have your strategy mapped out today, you’re already behind.
