| Title | Succession Planning: Building Leadership Capacity |
| ShortDescription | This resource is an executive-level succession-planning program to develop and/or externally recruit employees to support targeted leadership positions across the Department of Transportation. |
| LongDescription | This is a formal, executive-level succession-planning program developed in the mid-1990s to develop and/or externally recruit employees to support targeted leadership positions across the Department of Transportation. The program has four phased components: identifying areas of need, soliciting candidates, conducting assessments, and providing feedback. The initiative uses a competency-based, developmentally driven executive staffing model to identify a talent pool of successors who can move into crucial positions without unnecessary operational disruptions. The program has directly influenced more than 20 senior executive management appointments. This program has become a standard for successful succession planning and is being used as a model by other state transportation agencies developing their own programs. |
