Three years ago I wrote an article for Dean & Provost about how shocked I was when one of my deans retired at the tender age of 54! I was fairly new at the college, and I wasn't mentally prepared for her to go. I committed then to succession planning and to developing employees so that they are ready to take over when their peers move on.
