• What does succession planning entail and what are its essential steps?
• Are there any disadvantages to using a nine-box grid (Using The 9-Box Grid With The Performance Values Matrix (workdove.com) ) for succession planning?

• Do you think most people frequently move from one box to another or do most people tend to stay in one box for long periods of their careers?
