EVERYDAY SUCCESSION & TRANSITION PLANNING

Ensuring readiness for a change in leadership—both planned and unplanned—is essential to helping your organization thrive today and in the future.

GLP also helps you look beyond the top leadership and board roles to see the power of distributed leadership. Our approach to “Everyday Succession Planning” enables the benefits to spread throughout your organization, strengthening every transition process and encouraging a continuous attention to leadership development.

GLP can help you build an effective succession strategy and transition plan that will increase the resilience and adaptability of your organization.

We help you through a process to instill practices and mindsets that prioritize succession planning as an essential, ongoing responsibility of your board and leadership.

We’ll guide you through discussions about what to consider regarding the state of your school, community expectations, prior leadership, and important attributes of your new leader. This step will align your search and hiring process with your organization’s values and vision.

Assess context

Prepare for and lead a successful search

GLP helps you build your search committee and set key objectives and decision making criteria.

Entry planning is as important as the search itself! GLP helps you craft a transition plan that reflects key factors such as mission, culture, and both short- and long-term imperatives.

Map transition

Manage expectations

Establish goals, pacing, communications, and feedback loops will strengthen every aspect of the process from search to announcement to transition.

We help your board and leadership understand how to cultivate trust, clarity, and confidence—and provide guidance on establishing the systems and practices that will continue to build trust, open communication, and constructive dialogue.

Organizations thrive when leaders and boards enjoy a healthy partnership. GLP provides case studies that reveal insights on both successful approaches and missteps.
