Building Your Bench – it’s a phrase we hear quite often.  When people talk about their ‘bench,’ they make reference to sports teams.  While some of these sports analogies may apply, organizational ‘bench building’ is also uniquely different.  Building a strong bench should be of paramount concern, particularly in developing effective managers, and executives.  All organizations need to find and develop the next generation of leaders if they want to survive, let alone thrive.  But most experts agree that only a few organizations truly master succession planning/management.
