Step 1: Anticipate the Need
recognize that your firm’s existing top-x pool is probably inade- quate.
review their high-level leadership require- ments every two to three years and develop a plan
How many people will we need, in what posi- tions, in the next few years? What qualities are we looking for in those people, and how will we know when we find them?
