Succession planning, an organization’s way of maintaining or correcting course when key employees leave, is carried out in many different ways. It can involve a secretive conclave where a successor is announced with puffs of white smoke. Or a nominee might undergo a rigorous confirmation hearing before members of Congress. Rock-paper-scissors, etc. Whatever the method, succession planning can be easily derailed by ignoring some basic rules.

The common term we use in work is employee disengagement and I began to generate other “dis” words associated with disengagement and disconnection from work: disdain. disapprove. distrust. disapproval. disillusioned. disinterested.
