  • While a strong succession plan is easy to make, actually implementing it when the time comes is often more difficult.
  • A CEO needs to be developing internal talent whilst keeping an eye on who in the wider market might be able to do the job.
  • Taking sufficient references and conducting 360-degree reviews upwards to the side and down, can help you find the right CEO.
