CEO succession planning is widely acknowledged to be one of the board’s key responsibilities, writes Joe Griesedieck of Korn/Ferry International in Nothing Succeeds Like Succession, the main story in the inaugural Director’s Guide to CEO Succession Planning. Plus, a roundtable facilitated by subject-matter experts features the views and experience of veteran directors including Bonnie Hill and Ray Groves, Broadridge CEO Richard J. Daly and Prudential Financial Corporate Secretary Margaret Foran. Morrison & Foerster’s David M. Lynn writes on how an emergency succession planning may be very different than what a company needs long term in Expect the Unexpected Before the Crisis Calls; Korn Ferry’s Nels Olson on Overcoming Resistance to Succession; and Pearl Meyer & Partners’ Matt Turner on how Executive Compensation Programs Can Help or Hurt CEO Succession Planning.
