Describe a management succession plan.

What will be an ideal response?


A management succession plan is sometimes called a replacement chart or schedule. It records potential successors for each manager within an organization. Usually presented in a format similar to an organizational chart, this plan may simply be a list of positions and potential replacements. Other information, such as length of service, retirement data, past performance evaluations, and salary, might also be shown on the replacement chart.
The succession plans are generally kept confidential and can be computerized. They are also maintained by the human resource department for the use of top executives of the organization.
