Question: As the executive of a large corporation, you are ready to retire in 6 months. During your tenure, several of your vice presidents have received leadership development, including training and other opportunities. One of the vice presidents is particularly talented and has real strengths in strategic thinking and relationships with others. In fact, she has made outstanding contributions to the company and is extremely bright and respected. However, she has an impulsive side and has made a few questionable decisions that had to be rectified with your intervention. In your discussions with the board, they are clearly open to doing a nationwide search to seek a suitable candidate but are leaving the final decision to you. Would you recommend that the internal vice president be put forward for your job? Explain your position.
