“…1-Succession planning: Bottomley (2018) defines it as a long-term strategic planning to enhance stability within the institution, including identifying employees with leadership capabilities and competencies as well as working on developing them in order to prepare future leadership cadres for ensuring the continuity of leadership. According to this study and its specialization, succession planning can be operationally defined as a systematic process that aims to search for the best teachers who have readiness and leadership abilities, and who meet the legal terms and conditions to occupy the position of the school principal, and to assist and develop them professionally in this aspect so as to become candidates for future leadership to ensure the stability of the educational process, as well as to ensure that there are no organizational problems that might be caused by the sudden vacancy of the position of school principal.…”

The aim of the current research was to theoretically analyze the Rothwell’s model for succession planning and to clarify its sequential steps for the preparation of the alternative leader, as well as to theoretically analyze the job description card (form) for the school principal in the Egyptian Ministry of Education, in order to come up with some suggestions for the preparation of the second-line leadership at school or the alternative leader in a model scientific manner that is proven successful. To achieve the aim of this research, the descriptive research method was adopted in order to describe and clarify the studies related to the two variables of the present research, in addition to attempting to come up with theoretical generalizations that can be used. This research concluded with a proposal to plan the succession of the school principal in light of the Rothwell’s model, which consists of seven steps, each step includes a set of executive procedures that take place inside the school and through which succession planning can be achieved for the school principal.

“…Another four articles focused on the level of SP among law firms (Best, 2016;Griggs, 2016;Gallagher, 2017;Mitchell, 2017). Like other organizational context discussed in earlier paragraphs, SP was also not prevalent in law firms, with a 2015 survey revealing that only 31% of law firms in the US had formal succession plans (Griggs, 2016).…”

“…This was considered worrisome when one considered that most senior partners in law firms were part of the baby boomer generation who have already retired or are set to do so in a few years time (Griggs, 2016;Gallagher, 2017). An important component of successful SP in law firms was the integration of technology that allowed firms to track the productivity of their senior partners so that the most important partner's succession can be prioritized (Best, 2016). The process of transferring clients from one attorney to another was identified as crucial component of SP in the law firm (Gallagher, 2017).…”

“…Secondly, a clear succession plan also encourages senior members of management to become mentors and teachers to their younger counterparts as a deliberate strategy of transferring knowledge and expertise which contributes greatly to business continuity (Weisblat, 2018). Thirdly, a formalized succession plan enables the organization to properly measure the value each employee provides, and this makes internal promotions much easier (Best, 2016). Fourthly, as the current leadership crop of baby boomers begin to retire, a new generation of leaders will be needed in the very near future, and having a formal succession plan means that an organization is ready to deal with this inevitable reality (Martin, O'Shea, 2021).…”

This paper conducted a systematic review of succession planning (SP) articles published over the last decade. The Systematic Quantitative Assessment Technique was used to identify 174 SP articles. The review covered five key issues: 1) Time distribution, 2) Geographic distribution, 3) Article type, 4) Data collection methods, and 5) Themes explored. The findings revealed that interest in SP fluctuated over the last decade, and that South America and Oceania were the least represented by SP scholarship. The spread between conceptual and empirical SP articles were skewed towards the former, and survey was the most popular data collection method. Five themes were identified, with the most striking finding being that that if the ‘going concern’ principle of organizations is to be achieved, management must make deliberate efforts to formalize the SP process with the clear understanding that it is a continuous, transparent and participatory process, and thus a crucial management imperative.

“…Sustainable leadership approaches, are aiming at the longterm resilience of the organism through practices and are characterized by time resistance, transformation ability and moral character, thus exceeding the limits of the three pillar model of sustainability (Suriyankietkaew and Avery, 2016). Sustainable leadership becomes part of the organization's culture when leaders incorporate its practices into leadership development activities by staff (Bottomley, 2018). Organizational sustainability is not the responsibility of an individual or a manager working in a top-bottom hierarchical system, no matter how effective he is (Sanford et al, 2019), but is managed by a wide group of individuals (Çayak and Çetin, 2018).…”

The introduction of sustainability education into the educational reality in recent decades to raise student's awareness of environmental, social and cultural issues has gradually led to a change in the perception of school as an organization at all levels of its function. The traditional approach of school is receding and the concept of sustainable school is emerging, transforming school into a factor of change of attitudes and behaviors, into a major lever of transforming society toward sustainability, leading to the revision of leadership and organization views. In Greece, sustainable school is a utopian image in an ideal society. The efforts made are fragmented and incomplete, as the narrow legal framework which is determined by the state. A number of practices are strictly followed on issues that cover the whole spectrum of the educational process, such as the appointment of school principals, teacher placements, teaching instructions, funding and financial management of the school unit, limiting the margin of the school administration to achieve a sustainable use of the available resources in order to continuously develop and improve school as an educational organization. The Greek educational system, through the uniformity of laws in all its fields, inhibits the implementation of sustainable school by lifting cobblestones and obstacles that this article attempts to illuminate.
