Succession is Culture: Behind the Scenes of Leadership at Telia
Succession is Culture: Behind the Scenes of Leadership at Telia
Why is succession planning so hard to get right? We all have the spreadsheets, but do we have the culture?
At our next Recruitment Thursday Meet Up Series, we’re heading to Telia for a deep dive into the mechanics of leadership pipelines. We’re moving past surface-level talk to explore how one of Estonia's largest tech employers handles the "stumbles" as much as the "wins."
We will tackle the questions usually left behind closed doors:
The "Buy-In" Problem: How do you move succession from an HR task to a leadership priority?
The ROI of Internships: What is the real cost of running a program like Telia Future Minds, and is it worth the investment?
