Leadership Pipeline Priority Plan.

Turn your finding into an ordered plan that names your first guide, what follows, what you can skip, and when you start.

The last step of the Leadership Pipeline Diagnostic. This is what you carry out of it.

My most pressing trouble (bench, transition plan, or handoff), plus others in order

My guides, in order

Sequence so a bench is built or begun before a transition lands on anyone, and a plan comes before a handoff. Mark any piece already solid as done and skip it.

Guide

Already done, or to do

Present-tense work the reality check surfaced

Check any that apply, and do it first.

The current roles or leadership are not solid yet. Add leadership and team alignment, or staffing, as a first move.

There is no plan for being gone tomorrow. Note the emergency succession work as a companion.

The organization may not be able to sustain independent leadership at all. Note the mergers, partnerships and restructuring work.

My first move, with a date

Honest that this is patient work measured in years.

This is your map through the pathway. You will do only the guides you listed, in the order you set. If you checked a present-tense box, that work comes first, because a leadership future cannot be built on a shaky present or hold a leader who might be gone tomorrow with no plan.
