One bench, every succession problem.
Most teams arrive with one seat in mind and discover the problem is wider. CEO succession and board succession carry the most scrutiny and the longest lead times. Executive succession and leadership succession are where bench depth is usually thinnest relative to how often those seats turn over. Emergency succession is the version you need before you need it, and talent succession extends the same scoring model past the executive team. Small business succession strips it back to what works without an HR function behind it. Family-run and newly independent companies land on business succession planning most often, where the ownership question and the leadership question need to be answered separately. And once a plan exists, succession management is the ongoing discipline that keeps it accurate after the review meeting ends.
