title: Measuring leadership: measuring what counts for succession planning.
abstract: Organizations tend to favor measures of near-term, tangible achievement at the expense of long-term, intangible capacities such as leadership. Succession planning, which is intimately tied to measures of leadership competencies and leadership development, suffers as a result of this tendency. Effective planning requires senior managers to be willing to invest in the measurement needed to gauge where the organization stands with respect to future leadership requirements.
