Effective Successor Development: Accelerating Growth and Enriching the Talent Pipeline, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

Effective Successor Development: Accelerating Growth and Enriching the Talent Pipeline, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

Abstract: Developing effective successors represents a critical yet often overlooked organizational leadership responsibility essential for sustainable growth and business continuity. This article examines both the research foundations and practical applications of successor development strategies across organizational levels. Beginning with strategic workforce planning to identify future leadership requirements, the process continues through skills gap analysis to understand where internal talent may need enhancement. The methodology for identifying high-potential employees moves beyond mere performance evaluation to consider learning agility, cognitive abilities, and interpersonal skills as key predictors of leadership success. Structured mentoring programs and targeted developmental experiences—including rotational assignments, special projects, and simulations—provide candidates with opportunities to develop and demonstrate leadership capabilities. Finally, rigorous assessment protocols determine successor readiness while informing ongoing development needs. Though resource-intensive initially, comprehensive successor development programs represent a strategic investment that enriches talent pipelines and positions organizations for continued success through effective leadership transitions.
