Book Description
We found that there is insufficient information published related to the perceptions of nonprofit leaders or stakeholders regarding the value of succession planning. There is a gap in literature on the experiences with the process of succession planning, the barriers encountered during implementation and how nonprofits could best support the development of future leaders not to mention the lack of observation from the "first line" of this field. This book undertakes investigating succession planning, estimating the preparedness of nonprofits to deal with leadership turnover. By examining the involvement of respondents and their companies' level of preparedness for succession, we hope to finally provide a first answer to thee issues. After interviews with six nonprofit leaders, we can draw several conclusions. Leaders in nonprofit are aware of the numerous, various issues they must deal with on a daily basis. Non-profit leaders are capable of articulating what should be the requirements for a successor, and how challenging a transition (especially an unplanned one) can be. Yet why most of them have no written succession plan? Read to find out and stay tuned for the upcoming book exploring even more points of view. Use this invaluable resource for present leaders, their Boards, and anyone thinking about planning for succession.
