I invited listeners to submit questions and a few were about CEO succession.
To explore this topic, I invited Bruce Walton onto the show.
Bruce is a Partner at Battalia Winston, one of the world\\u2019s largest woman-owned executive search firms, and an expert at recruiting CEOs, C-Suite, and private company Boards.
We talked about Five Best Practices for recruiting external executives, competencies in a post-COVID world, and hiring up for the long term.
Whether you are a Founder, Owner, Board Member, or an incoming CEO, it\'s about fostering respect, rapport, and stewardship. Succession takes time to get right, and a hurried plan may be destined to fail.
