Succession planning and replacement planning are both strategies that are incredibly important to the lifeline of any organization. However, these two processes are often confused, even by senior organizational leaders.

Seems easy enough...

I love the idea of 360's. This is one thing our company has essentially put on hold since financial times have been more difficult. It can be expensive to administer this type of feedback for employees, especially if it's a large organization. However, I believe getting feedback from your peers can sometimes be more important than your boss. Your peers are those who interact with you everyday and can truly provide a first hand perspective.

By now, we've all heard about how employers scope out the Tweets and Facebook profiles of job seekers to winnow down the field of applicants. But job seekers may be surprised to hear just how many recruiters now use social media throughout the hiring process.

Ah, the joys of social media! It truly does expand the meaning that "big brother" is watching. I've found myself pulling back on Facebook posts by trying to stick to only positive things. LinkedIn, I feel I need a to hire a PR rep to make sure everything is in order there. Twitter, I'm not a fan of it period. But from the sounds of the article, I better learn to like and use it. Thanks for the link to the article, very good information.

I always enjoy this dynamic. It is a double edged sword and not every organization should want the use of social media in their candidates. I have conducted surveillance in law enforcement, research on teachers while working in the education field, and pre-screened inbound young Officers in the military. Its important to see what you are getting. It has become suspicious if someone doesn't have a linked in account. If a person has too many accomplishments on their linked in account however while simultaneously not having an active personal social media account as senior management I find it suspicious. We are all aware that if you want to know who a person truly is, the last place to look is linked in.

Good article to remind one what to look for in employees and self. One of the aspects of the behavioral interview for leadership in my organization focuses on servant leadership questions. It is hard to leaders others when "what's in it for me" is the primary focus.

Hi Jen, I love this article! Though it's the hard truth that many times we see people promoted over us that do not display this characteristics. However, when I think about the best leaders or the people I would pick to work with in a team, they definitely display these characteristics.
