In the Moment: The Power of Internal Succession and Trusted Leadership with Eric Wong
Description
What happens when a beloved senior leader suddenly leaves, and the person stepping in isn’t a high-profile external hire, but someone already within the organization?
In this In the Moment, host Ilene Schaffer sits down with Eric Wong, Principal of Organizational Effectiveness at Adobe, to talk about a real-life story that redefined his view of succession planning and leadership culture.
Eric shares a pivotal experience where an untested internal successor stepped up to lead a global team, turning what could have been a moment of chaos into a story of collective confidence and resilience. Together, Ilene and Eric find out what makes internal succession work, from creating teams that can operate without you to cultivating leaders who are loved, trusted, and ready.
