Succession Planning

Succession Planning is a strategic human resource process for ensuring leadership continuity, a key topic for Zambian tertiary health students. It involves identifying and developing internal talent to fill key roles when current leaders depart. Students analyze its importance for organizational stability in Zambian hospitals and health programs, where leadership gaps can disrupt services. This knowledge is vital for exams and for future senior managers, as effective succession planning mitigates risk, retains institutional knowledge, motivates high-potential staff, and ensures the long-term sustainability and resilience of healthcare delivery in Zambia.
