How does trust affect the CEO succession process?

Why are CHROs often more critical than CEOs in shaping succession outcomes?

My guests on this episode are Ani Huang, Senior Executive Vice President of the HR Policy Association and Anthony Nyberg, Director, Center for Executive Succession at University of South Carolina

During our conversation Ani, Anthony, and I discuss:

  • What first-time CHROs must know about CEO succession.

  • Why trust between a CHRO, the board, and the CEO is critical for a successful succession process. 

  • How to give boards real exposure to top internal talent.

  • How CHROs can help boards to assess internal vs. external talent objectively.

  • Why CEO role profiles used for succession should be forward-looking and should evolve with strategy changes.
