"While sensible, structured succession planning is something that HR would want to push for and would obviously have a crucial role in delivering, it is not up to HR to drive the process - that responsibility rests with the board. And if there is an HR director on the board, then I would hope that succession planning was already part of the mix.
Sadly, just like other people, HR directors are often vain, egotistical and paranoid individuals who will do everything to protect their own position by toeing the company line - regardless of whether it's actually any good for the people, or the business."
