Stewart Leadership’s Succession Planning Program
Determining talent potential and readiness is a vital part of succession planning, but it’s not easy. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future returns. Instead, we look at these four key indicators of talent potential. Understanding these four key indicators of talent potential can help an organization identify key team members and ensure they’re a part of the company’s leadership development and succession planning programs.
Self-Awareness
The ability to reflect and manage internal perceptions of one’s self is a key indicator of someone who has leadership potential.
Translating Learning-to-Action
The ability to quickly see the value in something new and the boldness to turn it into something useful shows a willingness to grow.
Drive to Succeed
The ability to rally themselves and their team together to consistently deliver high quality results is essential for motivation and success.
Reading the Room
The ability to know when and how to introduce an idea into the organization speaks to a person’s emotional intelligence.

Stewart Leadership’s Six-Step Succession Planning Process
Managing the succession of talent is an important strategic process that helps to minimize gaps in leadership and enables companies to develop and retain their best employees. The key is to be proactive in identifying, developing, and retaining a pipeline of leaders to drive operational success.
Having a succession plan in place avoids a mad scramble to find an adequate replacement for a critical position. This advantage is lost when succession planning is put off until a key leader leaves or there is a shift in the executive team.
Stewart Leadership’s consultants follow a succession planning process to help organizations devise models that identify their succession and development strategies. This proven process consists of six steps:
Identify Critical Positions in the Organization
Identify Competencies for each Critical Position
Identify High Performers and High Potentials
Develop Leaders
Develop & Implement the Plan
Monitor & Evaluate Effectiveness
