This report is designed to help organizations and their leaders take practical steps to reflect on their assumptions, motives and needs in order to create workable solutions for choosing and managing an extended executive exit. The insights, advice and tools are all designed from a fundamental recognition that there are three sets of interests that need to be balanced in any solution –the Board representing the organization, the exiting leader, and the incoming leader. These are the key decision-makers about whether the departing director will stay in the organization after they leave positional power.
This report includes key findings from a series of interviews in which pairs of leaders (exiting and incoming) were questioned about the quality and impact of their experience with extended transition. You’ll also find five tools for assessment and reflection.
