Right now, there's no hotter topic within the talent management community than workforce planning. The reasons are simple: with the current economy driving revenues down dramatically, many senior executives are examining how to plan ahead in order to increase their firms' capabilities, reduce costs, and survive the economic chaos likely to continue for some time.

Two mistakes that often occur when replacing a CEO ; either choosing someone in his own likeness when what the company really needed was someone different, or choosing someone of lesser stature to preserve his own legacy. This often happens with other senior management roles.

Succession planning is perhaps the most important job of corporate boards. Without a strong succession-planning program, companies are not prepared to fill openings created by retirements or unexpected departures, nor are they able to meet demands of the organization.

I could not agree more with your comments. I hear it on a daily basis, if I am the only one who knows this information; the organization has to keep me. Much of the fear comes from massive layoffs and reorganization-if they need the knowledge they will need me.

Interesting article... Training focuses on best practices, while development focuses on next practices. Training is often a rote, one directional, one dimensional, one size fits all, authoritarian process that imposes static, outdated information on people. The majority of training takes place within a monologue (lecture/presentation) rather than a dialog

Jim,

His work looks interesting. It will be interesting to see if CEO's are ready to accept a new way of thinking about how neuroscience can impact the way leaders behave, and if there is value in learning how the brain works.
