Fire-officer succession currently names whoever is most popular in the house. What should HR add so succession actually builds continuity?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Popularity is a yearbook vote, not a command ticket. Succession has to test incident command and people leadership, then coach the people who show it. A name on a poster is not a bench.
Full Explanation
Succession identifies talent and develops it; naming popular officers is neither. Incident command and people-leadership assessments create a job-relevant screen, and coaching converts high-potentials into a real bench. A friends list, a poster of names, or rotating titles without development leaves continuity dependent on social standing. SPHR succession work pairs identification with coaching.
