Succession Leadership

1. Succession planning begins with you and should begin now. 2. Although every plan will be different, there are several key milestones you need to meet to smooth the transition. 3. You and your group need to work together to make the transition work. 4. Both mentoring and formal preparation are keys to leadership development. 5. Selecting a successor should occur after a process of progressive delegation and evaluation to make sure that you have the right person with the right preparation. © 2011 American College of Radiology.
