Continuity of High-Performing Leadership:  Are You There Yet?

Succession Planning for Hospice Chief Executives

The topics “succession planning” and “talent management” are both receiving significant attention due to the anticipated retirement of senior hospice managers, the nursing shortage, and increased focus on risk management, quality and “getting the right people on the bus.”  More and more organizations are recognizing the importance of pairing plans for continuity of leadership with talent management as key elements of sustained organizational performance and market leadership. “Continuity of High-Performing Leadership:  Are You There Yet?,” National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization Newsline, Bill Musick, September 2007.
