This article is meant to encourage you to reflect critically about the role of executive replacement. The article explains why succession management has garnered increased global attention and is likely to continue to do so for some time. Secondly, it defines succession management and summarizes how it is usually carried out. Thirdly, the chapter is meant to challenge you to think beyond succession management to how work can be accomplished. Lastly, I suggest that values modeling is likely to become a driver, along with competency modeling, for future succession and work management efforts. Written by William Rothwell.
