Succession Planning - Your Route To Sustainable Business Success
Succession Planning - Your Route To Sustainable Business Success
It's critical to your success, because relationship building is the platform of all you do in business. Everything. It is the most vital thing that you do, without exception. Be it with your own people or others you interact with (who knows who is out there just waiting for your call!).
At the core of all great management success is the relationships that you build with your people. This might seem obvious and simple, and it is. Yet it is very surprising how difficult it is to achieve this step for many managers.
Sure, it is easy to be get on well with people and often this is a brilliant way to start your succession planning process. And sometimes there is a much more you can do to build that closeness of a relationship, which makes a bond between you and your people that is hard to resist.
And it's not that difficult either, because all you need to do is to learn, try and then expand your ability to be curious about your people!
If you are comfortable you are with yourself, with other people, managers are ideally placed to create usable relationships with people, as their employees usually listen. And although listening yourself is the more important activity, starting up conversations is for you to do.
What does this mean?
It means that some people who manage people, have an easy time and others don’t. Those that do create the right environment for developing a great people led business and those who don’t, well, struggle.
Relationship building is the core of all great managers – and for some, it will be a challenge daily they need to work at. One or two, and you may have come across them will always find it incredibly difficult to build relationships.
For them, succession planning will never be easy.
For you, making the effort to build interested conversations about anything with your people will open up information gathering channels that will help you find out what they want, what their aspirations are and even, what their skills are that you never knew.
Having that level of intelligence about all of your people help start the succession planning ball rolling. By letting others see how you do it, your key people will be using relationship building as a very valuable tool soon as well.
Then you pool what you know and use it as a cornerstone for succession planning in your business. And that is a really exciting time!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
