HR is playing a more important role than ever in CEO succession. But the process often requires CHROs to walk a fine line. Not so long ago, the issue of CEO succession was a relatively straightforward one for the head of HR. CEOs mostly owned the succession process, and often felt that if they had one or perhaps two possible successors who could take over at the appropriate time, that was enough. No longer. As boards are coming under growing pressure to make sure their companies have robust CEO succession strategies, and are passing that expectation on to their CEOs, HR is increasingly being called upon to play a key role.
