This reflects the importance that the investment community placed on the Apple CEO and his critical role in the business. However, in an organisation as large and innovative as Apple, how come the impact of this news has been so devastating?
From a Mind Leaders ThirdForce perspective, we can’t help but ask the question: So what about Succession Planning?
This is a case in point to highlight the value a Talent Development Strategy could bring to an organisation as flourishing as Apple in every other way. We need to take responsibility to ensure that we put measures in place to help prepare the CEOs of the future. Implementing a Talent Development System and grooming the next generation so they are ready for action when the opportunity arises will play a vital role in ensuring long term success
