BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL LEADERSHIP TRANSITIONS There are as many unsuccessful leadership transitions as there are successful ones. I imagine that everyone has witnessed firsthand a leadership transfer that went wrong. The reasons for such fiascoes vary but most often include one or more of the following: * The organization doesn’t like the new person. * The new person doesn’t like the organization. * The new person’s family can’t adjust to the new city they moved to. * There is a corporate culture conflict: Values and beliefs don’t match. * The leader fails miserably in his newly assigned responsibilities: He lacks the ability, capacity, experience, or knowledge to do the job well. * The old guard sabotages the efforts of the new leader. T The old leader sabotages the efforts of the new leader. T The old leader fails to leave, or reappears. * The new leader lacks persistence in implementing changes. T The new leader is recruited away by a better offer or challenge. * The new leader fails to win a following because of poor interpersonal skills. bit.ly/144ZwYP
