The Child Health Advisory Council (CHAC) explores this topic from several different viewpoints including internal and external approaches to ensuring you have the right team members in place. As you’ll hear in this latest discussion, succession planning begins once you take on a new role and mentoring your team, maintaining relationships outside of your organization and considering the legacy you want to leave behind.

One of the many challenges that academic medicine leaders face is helping faculty deal with significant changes in their career direction or emphasis. How we as leaders deal with those challenging moments is very impactful both for the individual faculty members and for the rest of the faculty and institution. How we handle these vitally important moments is among the most potent factors defining our leadership and the culture of our teams.

Bringing a faculty member or employee into an organization has very important implications for the future success of the organization and the recruit. Making a bad choice in hiring is extraordinarily painful for a department and for a faculty member whose career suffers as a result. Often faculty searches bring candidates who may be known to a member of the search committee and, as a result, references may be deemed unnecessary. In this conversation, members of the Child Health Advisory Council discuss the importance of obtaining references prior to completing all faculty searches.
