...Running Head: Developing Leadership Capital Succession Planning: The Critical Challenge for Law Enforcement of Developing Leadership Capital in the 21st Century Kelly Hedum University of Central Florida Abstract Succession planning is a critical leadership tool for ensuring organizational growth and continuity by eliminating substantial gaps in institutional memory, knowledge, and leadership through strategic placement of key personnel. One of the greatest challenges facing many organizations in the 21st century is how to affect a well designed change of leadership while maintaining organizational continuity and meeting or exceeding organizational goals. Current research suggests that many organizations will experience a leadership transition crisis in the absence of the implementation of a well designed, functional succession plan for the future. The purpose of this paper is to examine the leadership concept of succession planning and discuss two theories, trait theory and path-goal theory, and their relationship to the succession planning process. Succession planning is a six step process. Three important dimensions critical to succession planning as a leadership development tool include evaluating the future needs of the organization, the identification and development of leadership talent, and the ability to identify and implement results. Historically, succession planning is not part of an assigned role or task in a police agency and tends to get overlooked...

...Introduction. Drawing on the results of an extraordinary 2-year Accenture study of emerging business leaders, this book shows why the skills of today's global leaders won't be enough and why tomorrow's leaders won't resemble today's. Goldsmith and his co-authors first identify five new "factors of leadership" and their implications: global thinking, appreciation of diversity, technological savvy, and willingness to partner and openness to sharing leadership. They explain what it will mean to lead in an era where intellectual capital is the dominant source of value; how to lead people whose backgrounds and values may be radically dissimilar from yours; and why achieving personal self-mastery is now a fundamental prerequisite for leading others. Marshall Goldsmith is one of the world's foremost authorities in helping leaders achieve positive, measurable change. Ranked a Wall Street Journal "Top 10" executive development consultant and profiled by The New Yorker, he is one of an elite few that has worked with over 50 CEOs. He also co-edited The Leader of the Future, The Organization of the Future and Global Leadership. The Next Generation is a summary of two years of knowledge acquisition, research, and interviews sponsored by Accenture and concluded in partnership with Marshall Goldsmith and his colleagues in the Alliant International University. This book also builds upon valuable contributions by Warren Bennis and John O'Neil. Who Can Benefit. This book is unique. Instead of...

...Point of view What the future demands: The growing challenge of global leadership development B What the future demands: The growing challenge of global leadership development Companies worldwide seem to be seized by a new enthusiasm for innovation and growth after a sobering period of retrenchment and downsizings. Fast-moving technologies, rapid global expansion, shifting business models, mergers and acquisitions all hold out dazzling possibilities. But in order to capitalize on these opportunities, corporate leaders are confronting a serious need for new kinds of talent and leadership. One has the sense that CEOs all over the world are emerging from strategy sessions and turning to their HR leaders with the same questions: How will we get our company from here to there? And do we have the leadership to make that transition? HR executives bear increasing responsibility for helping their organizations find and develop leaders who can move their companies forward – and then for helping those leaders to succeed. This responsibility is complicated by the fact that it’s often difficult to get a clear view into the future state of the business. Among the outstanding questions for HR executives: ■ How fast must we be prepared for change throughout the organization and change at the top? What leadership skills are required for the future? How do we ensure that we hire, develop and retain the people with the right skills – intellectually, technologically and emotionally...

...Global Leadership Concerns for the Future It is my belief that the powerful driving forces that will impact my future business will be online and mobile communication, globalization, attitudes to the environment generational change, rising customer expectations, technologically savvy and many more issues will raise vital challenges for the company. In the world of business, increasing globalization of commerce and trade has created new challenges for business leaders throughout the marketplace (Goldsmith et al, 2003). As a leader my concerns for the future will be first to, understand how both foreign and domestic trade policy will affect a particular business structure. For instance, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) will have different guidelines to follow under Federal Law than a C-corporation, which also will have varied guidelines to follow if conducting business outside the U.S. or with other countries. Look at trends in emerging economies. Many developing countries such as India and China are becoming some of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world (Ernst & Chrobot-Mason, p. 2011). A leader must be aware of the company's exposure to other cultural concerns. The international relations between a company's country of origin and the other nations we conduct business with are important to the livelihood of the business. Second, my global leadership concerns for the future are diversity training and development; there is not enough. According to Goldsmith...

...vision for excellence Planning has become an important part of developing good management skills and governing of an educational organization. The Strategic Planning in Higher Education “clearly articulates that a proven methodology will yield strategic thinking from groups and more organizations in a innovative direction” (Center for Organizational Development and Leadership). Planning assures organizations stay in touch with the needs of the community. Planning will ultimately contribute to the growth and organizational stability of a learning community. There are two Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium standards that educators must consider when developing a successful work plan. Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium standard one specifies that “a school administrator is an educational leader who promotes the success of all students by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision of learning that is shared and supported by the school community”.

Long became the fifth director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the first woman to head a major U.S. intelligence agency.

Her tenure began on August 9, 2010, during a period of time that faced challenges including recruiting and developing a workforce that could respond quickly to “evolving national security threats, ongoing scientific and technological advances, changing skills and expectations of workers”, making sense of the increasing quantities of data, and building a competitive strategy that would ensure the Agency would provide customers with relevant products of the future.

...Globally Minded Leaders Introduction Globalization is a reality, with increasing emphasis on evolving markets for growth, organizations are faced with enormous challenges of identifying leaders to manage both domestic diversity and run global organizations. An inherent consequence of globalization is an increasingly diverse workforce, bringing with it a multifarious social environment within an organization effecting operations. In addition, an influx of nations engaging in the global marketplace place new social and behavioral demands on leadership. The global environment is very complex, it is far from adequate to simply learn the language or “tap a rising star from the home office to capitalize on an overseas opportunity” (Cabrera & Unruh, 2012, p.3), new strategies are needed for grooming leaders with a global mindset to successfully navigate these multifaceted complexities. Globalization is demanding new leadership competencies. This paper discusses the urgent need for globally savvy leaders and the leadership characteristics associated adopting a global mindset; psychological capital, intellectual capital, and social capital (Cabrera & Unruh, 2012).
