Sample An excerpt from the resource
Sample only. The full resource is delivered after purchase.
Your organization probably depends too much on you. You know it. Your board knows it. Maybe your family knows it. But somehow, succession planning keeps getting pushed to next quarter, next year, after the current crisis. This guide is for the moment when you're ready to change that—to build an organization that can thrive whether you're there or not.
You lead a small organization—maybe a nonprofit with a staff of twelve, a community foundation, a professional association, or a family business with twenty employees. You've built something that matters. And somewhere along the way, you've become the person who knows the major donor's preferences, remembers why the bylaws were written that way, and can fix the database when it crashes.
This isn't a guide for Fortune 500 companies with HR departments and executive search budgets. It's for organizations where succession planning feels like a luxury, where everyone already wears three hats, and where the very idea of documenting your knowledge seems like one more project you don't have time for.
If you've ever thought "I should write this down" and then didn't—this is for you.
By the end of this guide, you'll have practical tools to accomplish three things.
Who this is for
Leaders of small organizations—nonprofits, clubs, community groups, small businesses—who recognize their organization depends too heavily on one or two people and want to build sustainable continuity
