YouthActionNet Global Fellowship Day 6: Succession

Published: Thursday, 06 October 2011

 

We spoke about our succession plans today.  We did a great activity:  if I were to leave Robogals on November 6, one month from now, what would I spend my next month doing?

We had 2 minutes.

I think it's a really good activity to try because organisations cannot survive on a few key individuals alone.  They need a great system in order to thrive.
