As few as 6% of organisations have future leaders identified for critical roles. And strikingly, 22% have no one slated to take over key positions. Yet, most organisations tell us that succession planning has become a higher priority.

Knowing the leadership competencies required for success today and in the future, as well as having a sound understanding of the functional backgrounds that produce the most effective top-level leaders, will provide for a formidable talent strategy that can deliver on growth and business transformation.

There are a few different aspects that need to be considered to make sure we plan for the future and develop top quality leaders in our business:

• The functional backgrounds that produce the most CEOs
• How different career paths produce different leadership roles
• The value of providing meaningful leadership development
• Implications for business leaders and human resource professionals
