2. How should we plan for leadership succession? --by identifying the needs and if needs are big enough then hire and train a person for that --concern about fair hiring laws to only promote or move from within--can someone groomed inside make it in a search process --possibly go to chair/co-chairs for departments and committees to facilitate succession of trained individuals --similar issues when replacing undergraduate or graduate coordinators --consider how to train either faculty or non-tenure track personnel to do ug or grad advisement --define skill sets and be open to how you fill the positions in terms of type of position --distinguish career vs. curriculum types of leadership --build in incentives for faculty designated jobs in advising,etc.
