Michael Palazzo to Direct Workshop on Succession Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 7, 2009 -- BOCA RATON, Fla. – Michael Palazzo will facilitate a workshop on succession management for Oregon law enforcement agencies Oct. 13-15, 2009. The sessions will address some of the most pressing needs for any organization: a lack of organized planning and training for new leaders.

“As Baby Boomers move into retirement, public safety organizations are left with a void at the top,” said Michael Palazzo, who is president of Leadership Advisors. “Many times, emerging leaders have not been prepared to take on these more demanding roles.”

Michael Palazzo says that any organization experiencing a transition in leadership must:

• Develop a comprehensive succession plan
• Connect succession planning to organizational goals
• Recognize which employees show high potential for leadership
• Initiate mentoring programs for prospective leaders
• Provide appraisals and feedback for incoming leaders

Government organizations realize the need for highly effective leaders who can transition their people and teams in becoming 21st Century leaders,” said Michael Palazzo, who is also CEO of Leadership Advisors. “That does not happen by accident. It happens through planning and training.”
