About This Resource
In 2022 we kicked off a 4-part webinar the series lead by former ESE leader and now consultant Tess Reynolds. In this series we focused on, the tough but much needed topic, of succession planning.
In the final session we closed the series with a deep dive into exciting and yet sometimes tricky scenarios for succession planning. We discussed:
- Co-leadership model, with special guests Andie Sobrepena and Kerry Rodgers from Farming Hope (a REDF Growth Portfolio ESE)
- Succession Planning for Founders
- Interim CEOs/EDs
We used case studies to illustrate and discuss each of those scenarios. Lastly there we answered any outstanding questions on succession planning to help make the learnings stickier and ensure attendees felt confident implementing their organization’s transition plans.
Below is the session recording and accompanying materials.
