Succession | Building the future leaders in your organisation

The hit TV show ‘Succession’ won big at this weekend’s Golden Globes ceremony. The HBO series won best drama at the awards for the third time, making it amongst one of the few record-breaking shows to do so.

The series follows the story of the Roy family who own a powerful media conglomerate. Rumoured to be loosely based on the story of the media mogul Murdoch family, this fictional portrayal depicts an internal struggle that ensues when the company’s boss unexpectedly retires.

When a valued member of the workforce leaves your organisation, ensuring a suitable replacement is of crucial importance. But finding the right person to fill their shoes can be a challenging task, especially in today’s competitive candidate market.

For this reason, many experts suggest looking internally before searching elsewhere for the right person to fill your soon-to-be vacant position. Unlike in Succession, this doesn’t have to be a nightmare transition, or struggle to the top.
