Succeeding with succession
Top people in organisations have several primary responsibilities, one of which is to attract, keep and develop the very best talent that they can afford.It may seem counter intuitive but as one great leader that I had the pleasure of appraising last week put it, “It’s not about me any more, it is about them”.
What he meant was that yes, it has taken a lot of hard work, determination and talent to get to the top, but now, having got there, it is even more important to start developing and bringing on the other members of the team.
This is almost like the three stages of maturity. Firstly, in the early stages of our life, we are all dependent on others to help us grow and develop. Around the teenage and early adult years we move into independence where we say ”I can do this”.
Eventually however, it dawns on us that whoever we are, we cannot fulfil our potential alone and that is when we say, “We can do this” This is the third stage of maturity or interdependence.
