Preparation is not s traightforward: The people concerned are more than fully committed with their current roles and it&r squo\;s difficult for them to gain experience of h aving the rounded responsibility of ultimate leade rship without actually having the role. The transi tion is to a very different job.\n \n This highly participative workshop with a significant discussi on element explores the issues of preparing for su ccession and suggests practical solutions to the p roblems faced by senior leaders either developing successors or contemplating the top job themselves .\n \n Learning Outcomes:\n \n - Appreciating the sheer diversity of issues that come up in a genera l management role\n \n - Planning to systematicall y arrange and gather top leadership experiences\n \n - Thinking of succession as a process rather th an an event\n \n - Heightening ability to be self- aware and accountable for our actions (and inactio ns)\n \n - Developing external profile and relatio nships\n \n - Developing an approach to managing s takeholders and their expectations\n \n - Seeing t hings from the top-job point-of-view\n \n - Evolvi ng from a specialist to a generalist\n \n - Thinki ng strategically\n \n - Leading a leadership team\ n \n - Establishing an individual approach to resi lience\n \n Business Benefits:\n \n - Derisking su ccession to ultimate leadership of your business\n \n - Avoiding costly and uncertain external searc h\n \n - Establishing and demonstrating to employe es the possibility of a complete internal career p ath\n \n - Increasing the ability of your leadersh ip group \n \n - Accelerating individual achieveme nt\, and through that\, business results\n \n Work shop Leader:\n \n This workshop will be led by Dr David Fraser\, a long-standing associate of CeeD\, for whom he runs two highly regarded leadership g roups.
