This article focuses on a valid and realistic point of view, early integration and transparency yield long term results. One model that has been proven in the most brutal of environments and one that many organizations in the private sector can learn from is that of the military based succession planning and talent management. Very early in the process new comers to the military leadership circle are introduced to the concept of “training your replacement”, a point the article clearly points out as important when it describes the confidence displayed by the leader when he allows others to drive. Collaboration and knowledge sharing are essential when creating a synergistic and empowered organization that works towards sustainable results and growth, that not only impact the business and its customers, but that stimulate the interest of those around it.

You can make your point without making it sound like because Kevin got an inheritance he was less of a manager or people person...
