Succession Planning Report (Part Two) Pauline Adams, Melissa Aguilar, Kyle Oglesby, Edris Telyar BMGT 365: Organizational Leadership Professor Weiskopf February 6, 2024
1 Introduction Group 1 started working on succession planning for LSN to hire or promote few leadership positions as the company intends to expand, the acquisition for leadership role had two orients, first promote internal staff second hire from outside. Group 1 started working on establishing job descriptions for the identified leadership roles to do this the team split the work among individuals and everyone accomplished their parts, the team reviewed the final document and one member submitted the final paper, the same process was followed for part two. After reading the assignment description the succession committee knew that the company already showed interest in promoting internal staff for future leadership positions rather than the director of finance who will be hired from outside of the company, which will be discussed hereunder. Life Science Nutraceuticals, Inc. (LSN), a rising star in the health and wellness sector, will soon undergo a transition. Five existing workers have been granted interviews for the roles that will become available in the following 24 months. These are the suggestions that are being put out for consideration by the company's succession committee: Marge Simpson - Sales Director for Middle East Mohammad Darvish - Director of Research and Development Rafael Mendez - VP Headquarters Operations Jackie Johnson - Executive Director for North America Division And Director of Finance needs to be filled by an external candidate. Recommendations Marge Simpson is being recommended for the position of Sales Director, Middle East. The succession committee thinks that Ms. Simpson's capacity to come up with novel answers to
2 challenges as they emerge would make her a valuable asset in this role. Her experience as a nurse helps her better understand her clients, which is useful when making sales. She has demonstrated a desire to pick up new skills in order to get to know her clients better. Marge Simpson understands the value of family and that clients want to be treated as such, and she has demonstrated the capacity to lead the growth that comes with her position.

The position will be a task to undertake in the Middle East since most women do not hold leadership positions but the committee believes that Ms. Simpson will thrive with her knowledge of the Muslim community and cultures that are prominent in the Middle East. The succession committee is recommending Mohammad Darvish for the position of Director of Research and Development. Mr. Darvish's willingness to take chances demonstrates his readiness to use trial and error to improve the business when needed. Mr. Darvish has all of the leadership qualities that a director of research and development requires, including the ability to take calculated risks, communicate clearly, and be a quick learner (SHRM, 2008, para 4). Since the performance of the research and development department depends on a wide range of factors, Mohammad Darvish's leadership style, which is based on contingency theories, would be a suitable fit for this department (Malos, n.d., p 416). Additionally, Mr. Darvish comes highly recommended due to his capacity to interact with clients and ascertain their demands, which paves the way for the potential development and release of superior items. Because of his experience in homeopathy, Mohammad Darvish appreciates the company's global expansion and acknowledges that various nations and areas have distinct needs and demands when it comes to health goods. The research and development department will benefit greatly from Mr. Darvish's
