For any organisation to succeed in todays challenging business landscape, effective leadership is essential. Having appropriate leadership succession plans in place to protect the organisations long-term viability is a crucial factor in ensuring continued growth and success.

Yet there is growing recognition amongst industry practitioners that the next generation of potential leaders are reluctant to step up to lead. What then is preventing these emerging leaders from answering their organisations call to lead?

This study attempts to answer that very question by providing a unique insight into the perceptions, motivations, skills and needs of these emerging leaders.

It will shine some light on potential barriers to leadership, motivations to lead and identify the skills needed to successfully  transition into leadership roles.

In addition, it will provide organisations with a new understanding of the enablers and disablers of leadership succession along with developing appropriate leadership transition strategies and approaches.
