What Happens When CEO Succession Goes Wrong?

Without the right leader at the helm, a business will quickly flounder. Lining up a new CEO can often be a tricky process, which is why developing a well oiled succession strategy is key.

Featuring commentary from:

Joe Berwick - Buisness Development Manager for Private Equity

Nigel Brown - CEO - Microlease

Alison Carnwath - Chairman - Land Securities

Ian Edmondson - Chairman - Dunlop Aircraft Tyres 

  • While a strong succession plan is easy to make, actually implementing it when the time comes is often more difficult.
  • A CEO needs to be developing internal talent whilst keeping an eye on who in the wider market might be able to do the job.
  • Taking sufficient references and conducting 360-degree reviews upwards to the side and down, can help you find the right CEO.
