Providing managers for the future

Rosemary Stewart

Chapter 12 in The Reality of Organizations, 1985, pp 188-202 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Management succession must take place in all organizations, even the more stable ones, simply because managers are promoted, leave, retire or die. In some organizations management succession is unplanned, but where management is striving to be efficient it is seen as an important part of organizational planning. The aim is to provide an adequate supply of competent managers to fill the present and likely future needs. This chapter will discuss some of the problems of trying to do so. There are both general problems in ensuring a supply of good managers and specific ones that come from the changes affecting organizations which were described in the last two chapters.
