Discuss with your reporting officer to design your individualized action plan by structuring leadership development activities around practical experiences (70%), relationship building (20%) and formal training (10%).
4. Succession Planning
Regularly evaluate your team or organisation’s state for succession planning based on the following key essentials:
Leadership Continuity For All
Practise succession planning across all pharmacy teams, beyond formal leadership appointments to ensure continuity at every level.
Beyond HR: A Leadership Imperative
Succession planning should be a deliberate, ongoing responsibility shared by the entire Pharmacy team, beyond the traditional scope of Human Resources alone.
Strategic Tenure Management
Implement fixed tenures for key leadership positions to foster meritocracy, accelerate professional growth among emerging pharmacy leaders, and minimise disruptions from unexpected leadership transitions.
