Below are some of the more common aspects that have been empirically evaluated: Needs analysis: whether a systematic process was used to identify training needs and design the training accordingly …

Barriers exist that prevent nonprofits from engaging in succession planning, but little research has examined the nature of these barriers.

Even though women have made tremendous strides in many facets of education, ascending the administrative and leadership ranks within universities at a proportionate ratio to the number of women who peak as middle managers is not one of them.
