Leading Succession in This New Era Featuring Marcia J. Avedon

CEO turnover across all industries is now the highest in 20 years of tracking—and the trend will likely continue as the economy stalls and brings more bankruptcies, buyouts, and reorganizations, according to Forbes. The implication follows that if CEOs are making moves in the job market, other high-level executives are as well.

What does this mean for leading HR executives? Given the shifting business and talent landscape, it is crucial to define high-potential leadership for your organization and identify your future executives, so that you can focus on developing and retaining your top talent for leadership continuity.
