Succession planning is not just about preparing for leadership transitions—it's about shaping the future of an organisation by aligning leadership development with its core values and mission.

Dr Robert N. Winter · A Guide to Succession Planning in Organisations: Part 2Imagine a thriving organisation where a dynamic CEO suddenly announces their retirement. The company scrambles to fill the void, hastily appointing a replacement from outside the organisation. Within months, cracks begin to show—staff morale dips, key projects falter, and the company’s culture feels adrift. This scenario, while common, is entirely avoidable with thoughtful and culturally […]

Succession planning is more than a process—it's an ethical and strategic commitment to organisational sustainability. In my latest column, I discuss how embedding ethical stewardship, strategic alignment, and cultural continuity into leadership transitions can strengthen resilience, sustain values, and drive future innovation.

Dr Robert N. Winter · A Guide to Succession Planning in Organisations, Part 1Leadership can be described as the art of navigating complexity, balancing the demands of today with the uncertainties of tomorrow. Succession planning is a critical aspect of this art. At its core, it is about preparing an organisation to thrive beyond the tenure of its current leaders. Yet, it is not merely a functional or […]

One story we thought was great this week didn’t get enough attention: @ArtPhotosDesk shared an animation about an incarcerated artist and his mentor, which was published by the incomparable The Marshall Project. Take a look at it here.

Daily Inspiration: "Any idea worth growing should always be planted!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
From small ideas, big things can grow!
That's what I was thinking about yesterday as I spent time with my long-time friend Marc Jeftovic. He's the CEO of easyDNS, a tech company that, well, helps you manage your DNS (or domain name service setup.) It might not sound like a service like that involves much, but I can tell you it's an extremely important one - and one that his company excels at. In fact, from its humble beginnings in the 90s, it's become one of the major players in this space in the world.
Some years ago, Mark planted the seeds of an idea in my mind. I didn't chase the opportunity at that time, because I wasn't quite receptive to it, but the thought did take root in the recesses of my mind. Some years later, when I needed to challenge myself to take on a new role, the tiny seed of an idea bloomed, and today, it is fully grown. That experience has taught me a lot about the role of mentoring, leadership, and guidance.
Every great idea needs to be planted, solidly and firmly as a foundation for a future of growth. Every great opportunity that might spark a new solution needs a wick that might one day be lit. Every wonderful potential future should be shared so that it can be carefully nurtured to its full potential. Every single concept needs planting so that it might eventually be harvested.
One of the most important things you might ever do with what you do, how you think, and the mindset you carry about with you is to plan that idea as a seed within the minds of others. Our role as innovators and leaders is to challenge people to discard their old reality so that they might discover a new one.
We should inspire people with a goal that involves a better future if only they might find a pathway to get there.

Can't tell you the number of people that have come to me 20yrs+ later to tell me how a small word of encouragement I gave them stuck in their head for decades & made a difference for them.
I had the same experience many times with kind words given to me but one of my strongest memories was some blunt, constructive criticism someone wrote down for me.
I still have that note - faded & almost unintelligible - as it hung on my office wall for decades.

People who over-index in disciplinarian psychometrics tend to credit their own growth with pain.
However, because cortisol inhibits memory retention, they suffer from #KnowledgeBlindness related to how they acquired knowledge, or skills.
The only thing they can attribute to the growth: pain itself.
New blog post and video on being a PM at Microsoft: If you own something, you’re ultimately responsible for its positive outcome. If someone else owns something, they are. You can’t do someone else’s job for them, and sometimes the best thing is to let them fail so that they and their team can learn and grow. This is a tough one every time, but sometimes it provides the sand from which a pearl can grow.
