Winning Strategies: Building a Sustainable Leadership Pipeline through Talent Management & Succession Planning

by Kevin S. Groves, PhD

Overview

Dr. Kevin Groves' approach to succession planning encompasses not just the CEO, but the entire leadership pipeline. Winning Strategies is the culmination of his work with healthcare organizations over the past 10 years to identify evidence-based succession management & talent development practices. Much of the data comes from his Healthcare Talent Management Survey--a standard in the industry. Reinforced throughout is the imperative of presenting top leadership teams with clear, compelling evidence that talent management & succession planning capabilities are vital investments. Four case studies--Sutter Health, Kaiser Permanente, HCA, and the Cleveland Clinic--illustrate why healthcare organizations must implement Groves' Talent Management Capabilities for leadership development & continuity. Written for those seeking to establish, revitalize, or asses their organization's succession management & talent development practices, Winning Strategies will undoubtedly be a valuable resource for your team.
