Too often organizations address the succession challenge through the rearview mirror. They wait for someone to step down or even worse, be removed. Then and only then do they entertain thoughts of who or what should happen next?
One of the reasons little forethought is given to succession is evident in the fact that it rarely shows up in corporate business plans.

You wake up in the morning, head to work, and find out your company is downsizing and you are being laid off. No big deal you think, you have experience, you've worked at the same company for years. You think companies will WANT to hire you. Guess what, your wrong. It’s a new day and age, while you may potentially find work. It’s a lot more difficult than you may think to get a job these days.
