The 6 Succession Planning Conversations
What are the 6 Succession Planning Conversations?
The 6 Succession Planning Conversations is a set of tools created to guide ministry boards preparing for a leadership transition. Each set of tools:
- Focuses the board’s attention on the most critical questions
- Helps you organize the work that must be accomplished
- Guides you to identify and evaluate potential areas of disruption
- Organizes the way you solicit feedback and continued support from leaders
Implementing these tools leads to a more effective and healthy transition.
