"Success is succession" — and this training is the flip side of becoming a great number two: how to actually build one. Kevin breaks down why so many leaders unintentionally sabotage their own succession plans by hoarding the "secret sauce" instead of handing it off well, and what a smooth, set-them-up-to-win transition actually looks like versus an abrupt, feel-less handoff. You'll learn the three C's to look for when identifying who your number two really is (character, competence, capacity — not just "who looks the part"), the difference between your only-you-can-do list, your have-to-do list, and your others-can-do list, and why strategic delegation off the have-to-do list is what actually develops someone instead of just dumping work on them. Kevin also unpacks the common sabotage structures leaders fall into without realizing it — micromanaging, withholding information, failing to give real feedback, undermining authority, refusing to delegate — and how casting a personal and departmental vision big enough to require developing others is what separates leaders who keep getting promoted from leaders who become the bottleneck. This is the part two every emerging leader and every department head needs: not just how to become a great number two, but how to build the next one so you're free to engage what's next.
