Too often, I’ve seen organizations scramble when a senior leader exits. Why? Because succession was never prioritized. True succession planning is not about replacing people. It is about building pipelines of leaders who are ready for tomorrow’s challenges. In my 40+ years, the most resilient organizations were those that invested in mentoring, leadership development, and exposure for their high-potential talent. Leadership is a relay. The baton must always be ready to pass. If your top leader left tomorrow, would your pipeline be ready?

I agree 100% with this observation. Even at the front line, in roles often viewed as “just execution,” I’ve seen how lack of organizational planning or alignment forces us into reactive mode — chasing deliverables, firefighting, and shifting priorities constantly. From where I sit in operations/maintenance, here are a few reflections: • Misalignment upwards filters down harshly. When leadership changes direction without clear communication or justification, everyone below has to scramble — we lose time, resources, and morale. • Limited visibility means limited influence. Lower-level teams often don’t get to see the full picture (strategy, constraints, trade-offs). Yet they bear the brunt when things change midstream. • Consistency and small commitments matter. Simple practices like regular briefings, incremental checkpoints, and transparent feedback loops can prevent large disruptive pivots. • Empower people close to the work. Because they are the ones who know the ground realities, involving them in planning or change decisions (even in small ways) can save wasted effort and create ownership. • Psychological safety is key. When teams feel safe to speak up — to say “that plan won’t work the way it’s designed” — you catch many issues earlier.

Scaling leadership development is about amplifying the system that fuels culture and strategy. Growth at the leadership level creates ripple effects of agility and resilience across the organization. ✨ Explore how CCL Passport helps organizations make leadership growth continuous, inclusive, and scalable.

“For organizations, investing in leadership development should be an obvious choice. At every level, leaders and their decisions can determine an organization's success or failure. This means they must be able to grow and learn as things change. Development is especially important as companies grow and require more leaders or when newer talent must take over for departing leaders.” https://bit.ly/46wbW5e
