    Foster a Culture of Continuous Improvement: This can be achieved by implementing regular training sessions, workshops, and brainstorming meetings that allow team members to contribute ideas for process improvements. By integrating innovative practices into the daily operations, you ensure that the organisation remains adaptable and forward-thinking without compromising the stability provided by experienced leaders. Establish Clear Communication Channels: Develop robust communication frameworks that facilitate transparency and collaboration between leadership and staff. Regular updates on strategic goals, feedback mechanisms, and open forums for discussion can help bridge the gap between innovative initiatives and established practices.

    A sucessão precisa ser focada nas habilidades técnicas e de gestão necessárias para aquela posição, do contrário acabamos caindo na armadilha de buscar perfis semelhantes ao daquele que hoje está ocupando aquela cadeira. Essa "armadilha" corporativa é perigosa. Precisamos trazer novas maneiras de enxergar o mesmo processo, com um novo olhar, mas preservando os VALORES organizacionais, tal qual hard e soft skills mapeados como fundamentais para a atividade em viga!
