About This Webinar

Succession planning is no longer a corporate checklist. It’s a dynamic storyline shaping the future of leadership. Join this interactive, communication-focused session to explore insights derived from a comprehensive analysis of 50 years of leadership succession planning, spanning 161 Emmy and Golden Globe–nominated television shows, 190 industry case studies, and 1,000 peer-reviewed articles.

With engaging examples from hit TV shows and a curated list of insights to energize the discussion, you’ll learn the science of anticipating emerging leadership trends and the art of preparing for leadership succession transitions amidst uncertainty.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, you’ll:

  • Discover groundbreaking research insights into the successes, pitfalls, and emerging trends reshaping leadership succession planning today.
  • Understand how cultural storytelling — from HBO’s Succession to Netflix’s Running Point — reflects and influences leadership cultures and succession outcomes.
  • Receive evidence-based strategic recommendations to strengthen your organization’s leadership bench in an era of rapid, relentless change.
