Staffing Challenge
In this chapter’s opening Staffing Challenge, you learned how GE combines succession management and career development to ensure a solid talent pipeline of project managers and senior executives. Working in a group of three to five students, reread the vignette. Be prepared to share with your class your answers to the following questions:
a. Why do you think that GE’s internal assessment and development system is so successful?
b. What additional ideas do you have that could help GE fill as many internal positions as possible with its current employees?
