Cultural determinants of the organizational leadership succession – Poland compared to other countries in the world.
Journal Title: Journal of Intercultural Management - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The collected material of foreign studies conducted in different countries and transcultural analysis shows that the multistage process of succession takes place rather in family businesses. In other companies it comes to situational choice of a successor president forced a sudden event, such as resigning from the job, death or termination due to lack of organizational and financial success. This approach means that we no longer have to deal with the succession, but only with the promotion of one of the top managers or employing (mainly by the action of headhunting firms) person from outside the company, who does not know the prevailing organizational culture.The analysis shows that the greatest effectiveness, identified with the leadership of the organization, accomplish managers subjecting the succession process in the companies, they work for years. In Poland succession plans are mostly in international corporations doing business in Poland. An increasing number of companies with the designated successor of CEO arises more form the turbulent environment (that forces the owners / boards of creating emergency plans) than implementation of multi-step programs of succession.An interesting issue that will be analyzed in the future (based on a survey of enterprises in Poland) is the selection of persons for the succession. Important research area seems to be a talent management conception.Probably helpful to decision makers in the selection of people to the process of succession and develop a plan of succession seems to be a tool to identify the properties of leadership suited to the different stages of career development. Activities based on the use of scientific methods (and not only based on intuition and experience) may improve the selection of people to the process of succession and increase the chances of finding future organizational leaders.
