Thoughtful Succession: Conversations with a founder and his successor Calibration Point Podcast
-
- Non-Profit
On the forty-seventh episode of the Calibration Point Podcast, Jamie talks with Eric Cummings, founder of Community One and Jessica Welcher about how positive succession planning made a difference as Eric exited and Jessica entered the organization. When so many things can go wrong in transitions, they share how having a plan and great coaching helped for smoother transitions. It may come as a surprise to learn that only 15% of non-profits even have succession plans for their ED/CEO. When a ED is stepping away, the goal is not to replace them with a replica of themselves but rather someone with new skills to bring to the table. Jamie, Eric and Jessica dive deeper into succession planning and why it is important to have plans in place that are not just for emergencies. You won't want to miss listening in.
