Leadership Transition Tools

Leadership transitions involve more than deciding who will take on a role. Future leaders need opportunities to develop judgment, understand how important decisions are made, and gradually assume meaningful responsibility. 

Paul has developed a series of Leadership Transition Tools to help families make that process more deliberate. The resources explore practical ways to learn from the enterprise’s history, draw lessons from past decisions, clarify decision authority, and create opportunities for emerging leaders to exercise leadership in practice.

Each topic includes a Practitioner Note explaining the approach and an accompanying Field Guide for putting it to use.
