About this listen
Most leaders say they want to hire people smarter than themselves… but when it comes to the reality of succession planning, many avoid it entirely.
In today’s episode, Kim Frost breaks down the leadership responsibility almost no one talks about — but that the strongest leaders quietly master: planning for their own replacement.
This conversation is bold, direct, and necessary. Because protecting your seat isn’t leadership. Protecting the future of the business is.
Kim unpacks the data, the risks, and the mindset shifts every leader, board member, and CEO needs to hear — especially as CEO turnover accelerates and organizations continue to operate without any formal succession plan.
If you care about leadership longevity, organizational stability, or building a legacy that outlasts you, this episode is non-negotiable.
In this episode:
- Why most leaders avoid succession planning (and why that’s dangerous)
- The data every leader needs to know right now
- How to build true bench strength
- The uncomfortable hiring question every leader must ask
