In this second episode focused on succession planning as a leadership theme, co-hosts Kathy Edersheim and Mike Madison dig into connections between leadership succession and leadership - and organizational - success.

Connecting concepts with practices, the conversation weaves in case studies of organizations and companies where succession planning has gone well - and where leadership transitions have gone poorly.

We add to that mix some key observations about special cases: challenges of managing leadership transitions in small businesses, especially family businesses, and in startups.
