Real learning gets to the heart of what it means to be human. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do.

"What is this leadership thing you keep talking about?"
I was leading a fast-growing organization when that question was asked by one of the senior directors during a team meeting. He was a great employee and a gifted trainer but clearly not someone who was ready to help lead. Do you have a will? Does the thought of outlining what you want done with your stuff after your earthly departure fill you with dread? Well it shouldn't. And neither should creating a succession plan for your organization! It's hard to acknowledge that one day we won't be here - either physically or in our current job. But making a plan can help make sure a CEO transition won't mean the end of your mission-driven organization.
