If
your laboratory doesn't have a succession plan, your operational
and financial viability could be in jeopardy. That's because many
baby boomers working in your lab are already eligible for Social
Security and are beginning to retire, leaving you with the difficult
task of finding good people to replace them.
You
still have time to cushion the impact of pending retirements in
your laboratory. Simple succession planning steps can pay big
dividends. That's why you and your staff will want to listen in
to these recordings of his first-ever audio conference on "Succession
Planning Essentials: Preparing Your Lab for the Coming Wave of
Retiring Managers and Staff," that was held on Tuesday,
November 17, 2009.
You
and your team will learn the A-to-Z of effective succession
planning, including the importance of starting with cornerstone
managers-bench supervisors and department heads-then moving
up the ladder to top-level lab managers and executives. You'll
also get tips to help you craft the best succession plan for
each management level.
Your
guide for this one-of-a-kind audio conference is Jeff Smith, Vice
President of Leadership Development at Slone Partners. His considerable
experience at succession planning and management development means
you'll get up-to-the-minute advice and recommendations on crafting
the most effective succession-planning program for your laboratory.
Master
the basics of creating a winning succession plan. Hear case studies
that give you a better understanding of the most powerful techniques
for choosing the right succession candidates. And explore mentoring
programs that can help soon-to-be-retiring managers fast track
their designated replacements.
Remember
that each retirement robs your lab of "institutional knowledge,"
along with each manager's hard-to-replace skills. Which is why
succession planning is now a high-stakes priority for every lab
and pathology group in the country-including yours.
Order
Your Audio today to listen in on the most important
laboratory succession-planning event of the year.
Don't
forget that you can also listen in to the most commonly asked
questions by the live audience. It's another reason why this
conference will provide a good launching pad for generating
enthusiasm and focusing your efforts on creating a winning succession
plan for your lab.
As
the retirement of your best lab managers looms ever nearer, it
is imperative that your laboratory be ahead of events and prepare
for the transition to new management talent. Let Jeff Smith guide
you through the best practices of succession planning. Reserve
