Relocation . . . Avoid it if possible!
By
Chris Bull, Managing Director |
|
As search consultants, we are often asked about the need
to go outside the local marketplace to source the

Who's in the Succession Planning Queue?
by Chris Cottey, Principal
Consultant |
|
Those of you who read the McDermott & Bull Newsletter
regularly will probably recall an article we published
last year that spoke to “The Costs of a Vacant
Position.” In that article, we detailed both the
immediate and tangential fallout as well as the
organizational degrading that occurs the longer a
position remains open. (If you would like to review this
past article, please email me at
Cottey@mbsearch.net
for a copy.) Without question, the direct and indirect
costs and impacts to a company or department that lacks
a quick replacement remedy can be enormous and truly
beyond empirical measure. The obvious potential remedy
is to do everything possible to preclude employee,
manager or executive turnover…necessary, but not a 100%
guarantee even in the best run companies with
outstanding worker environments. Part of retention
planning, it can be argued, is succession planning.
Orderly transition sends very strong retention messages
to those working within an organization, not to mention
the reduction of costs and impaired productivity that
usually occur during a prolonged opening. In this first
of two articles (see our next edition for part two) we
shall examine a few of the wrong contributors to
succession planning. Next edition, we shall speak to how
to successfully drive succession with the right
professionals.

Saying “Yes” to
Helping Others – You Just May Get More Than You Give
By Jeff Black, Principal Consultant |
|
We are all asked to help others in the business
community, and of course, we all try to make time
whenever we can. I think this story shows that you
really cannot predict the positive impacts to your
business objectives, beyond feeling good about helping,
that saying “yes” might provide. [Full
