LEADERSHIP SUCCESSION: SELECTION OF A POTENTIAL LEADER BY FRANCIS ABBAH

One of the challenges of leadership is in the equipping of people to carry on the good works already commenced by the leader. However, the only way for great leadership to be experienced in the decades and centuries ahead is when the baton is passed on successfully to other protégés or individuals who have been prudently trained by the leader. This is so crucial because, in order for the entities to continue to operate with the needed momentum to achieve their respective vision, goals and dreams, then a legacy has to be created within the lives of the people called to carry on the baton of the leader.

A lot of times, in the case whereby a succession is not created, even though the leader at that point may be great, the entities, most likely, will stagnate and begin to decline away from their set vision.

The right tools and mentorship provided, will not only create a legacy but also create other leaders who can reproduce themselves multiple times to ensure the fulfilment of the desired vision and destination of the entities at any point in time. But it all starts with a deliberate effort to leave a legacy behind. And ultimately, we will only be remembered by the legacy we leave behind, so why not leave any?
