Management development and succession planning go hand in hand and should not be looked at in isolation. Succession planning is the identification of who the potential successors could be, whilst management development is the ‘secret sauce’ in developing them to be ready to step into leadership positions or higher roles.

In order for Leaders and managers to develop they often need support in the identification of where they need development the most.

Coaching can add another level of depth to managers and leaders that are participating in development. Outside of the core elements of management development they still may be challenged with particular issues or situations. Coaching provides the perfect safe space to discuss the challenges they are facing to support them to a resolution.
