How to retain and grow your company's leadership -- it's often the most neglected item on a company's agenda. And yet, it may be the most important. In a typical week or month, how much time does your company devote to revenue forecasts, budget projections and other financial matters? If you're like most companies, financial discussions take up a disproportionate amount of your time, leaving very little discussion about people -- the very people who are responsible for creating your company's revenue and profits.

Is your company prepared to successfully fill vacancies in key leadership positions? Do your senior executives have the complete range of skills needed to advance in the organization? Does your organization have a sufficient, qualified leadership bench, ready to shape and execute your business strategies both today and into the future?

Leading global companies recognize that just as they carefully evaluate their financial projections, they must also carefully plan for the eventual replacement of managers at all levels in their organizations. They understand that people drive profits - not the other way around.

But for many companies, succession planning is a loosely defined concept and a poorly implemented process. Most organizations have no method of collecting, summarizing and analyzing contextual information about their key people.

In order to develop and grow your company's key leadership, your company must have a sustainable people agenda to ensure that hiring and training fit an overall master plan; a plan that can also help employees gain experience in diverse areas so that they're ready for an assignment when an opening occurs.
