HCA 817 Module 7 Mentoring and Succession Plan
Details:
Preparation for sustainability is critical in the health care industry. For an organization to be sustainable,
leaders must think beyond their individual tenure in the organization and strategically develop succession
plans to assure the sustainability of the organization, allowing the leader to move on and leave a legacy. To
plan meaningfully, leaders must identify high-performers and challenge them to innovate, and they must
develop under performers to acceptable levels of performance. Guidelines for mentoring may vary from
person to person and organization to organization. Together, though, the deliberate mentoring of both overand
under-achieving performers assures that quality of care is continuously improving. In this assignment,
you will propose a research-based succession and mentoring plan that creates a culture that allows the
organization to function well with or without the current leader and allows all members to rise together
passing along to the next generation gains in quality and safety and making the organization sustainable.
