"Failing to Plan is Planning for Failure," Succession Planning

An essential part of paramedic education is succession planning. What happens to the program if you are not there? Retirement, illness, and turnover are unavoidable aspects of your paramedic education team. Developing a plan provides a roadmap to ensure continuity when these changes occur. A plan defines roles, identifies succession candidates, systematically measures their strengths, and guides their talent development. This process will assist with developing the next generation of leaders, ready to take on a new role when the time is needed.
