"A transition will be one of the greatest tests of your leadership, but
it will also serve as one of the greatest rewards and testimonies of
your legacy." --Tom Mullins
Successfully handing off the leadership baton to the next leader is
essential to give our organization the best opportunity to thrive after
our time of service. A smooth handoff requires meticulous planning and
forethought. Yet most leaders put off even thinking about leadership
transition until they are faced with a situation where they have no
choice but to make a change.
The results of not planning ahead can be devastating for both you and
your beloved organization. Passing the Leadership Baton will help you
manage the emotional transition yourself while fully supporting the next
leader. Creating a seamless succession can be a challenge, but done
successfully, it may very well be one of the greatest rewards you'll
experience as a leader.
