Leadership and Succession

An effective succession strategy is crucial to any organisation seeking to attain -- and sustain -- high levels of business performance.

Many organisations' succession planning processes work to perpetuate the status quo, limit diversity, and stifle ingenuity and risk-taking. Gallup's innovative approaches to succession management overcome these obstacles and provide organizations with the opportunity to:

• establish an effective leadership team that meets organisational objectives
• reduce the range in performance in leadership and management positions
• identify and leverage the leadership talent that already exists in the organisation

Our approach to succession management focuses on getting the right people in the right roles at all levels of the organisation. Our solutions help organisations:

• identify the best internal candidates for each position
• lower attrition among top performers at all levels
• develop potential successors in ways that best fit their greatest talents
• concentrate key resources on succession planning and talent development to yield a greater return on investment

Gallup supports organisations in their succession management strategy through the delivery of world-class tools, applications, and advisory services that increase organisational alignment, workforce performance, and bottom-line business results.
