Managerial Succession Planning for School Principals introduction to organizational development in the light of Rothwell's model

Abstract

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.

Measuring the Success Metric for Effective Succession Planning: The Conceptual Perspective

“…Effective succession planning helps boost the confidence and understand each employee's purpose and what drives them to achieve business goals. A systematic process of succession plans was most effective when it was designed within an evaluation framework, education, and growth plans in order to measure progress and success, as well as provide any evidence to support changes to the succession planning process and leadership development (Abdellah, 2021). This systematic process also has an impact on the organization's succession plan, which aims to create future leaders.…”

“…In order to ensure continual progress, the review process at each level in succession planning should be continuous and comprehensive, with a primary focus on evaluation instruments; these are all necessary to accurately expose the reality of succession planning progress (Abdellah, 2021). When it comes to succession planning, organizations can look at multiple factors to assess their outcomes.…”
