Succession Planning When There Is No One to Succeed You with Lianne Picot

Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

Welcome to another episode of the Small Nonprofit, your resource for down-to-earth, practical advice on how to get things done in your small organization. You are going to change the world. We can help.


This week we’re talking about something that many organizations don’t really think about… succession planning! We have seen many organizations struggle after their leader leaves and we’re happy to have Lianne Picot, a self-described leadership and story obsessive with over 25 years of experience as a practitioner, executive director and CEO.

💡 In this episode, look out for 

  • All the reasons why organizations don’t focus on succession planning and why they should

  • What it means to “future proof” your organization and ensure operational consistency

  • Easy ways to improve organizational development in your nonprofit… TODAY!

  • How to build managerial capacity

  • The truth about failure in your organization

Whether you feel like it may not apply to you because you don’t really have a team or that it’s something that doesn’t fit into your day-to-day, succession planning is essential to future proofing your organization. Lianne shows us that succession planning isn’t necessarily about thinking of successors, but more about organizational development.

If you’re ready to start succession planning, we think that Lianne’s online leadership course, ‘The Leadership Leap’,[LINK: www.theleadershipleap.net] is a great resource. This is especially helpful if you want to help new and aspiring leaders to become inspiring leaders so they can increase their influence and have more impact.
