CEO Roundtable: Succession Planning & High-Potential Leadership Development | SWCMP

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 (11:00 AM - 12:30 PM) (EDT)

Description

Invitation Only

One of a CEO’s most important responsibilities is ensuring leadership continuity. Succession planning is essential to sustaining performance and avoiding disruption when key leaders transition. Organizations that proactively identify and develop future leaders strengthen resilience, improve retention, and position themselves for long-term growth.

Please join a select group of manufacturing leaders for an interactive CEO Roundtable focused on building a High-Potential (HiPo) leadership program that strengthens succession planning and organizational sustainability. 

The discussion will explore:

  •  How to identify future leaders within your organization
  •  The traits and behaviors that distinguish HiPo talent
  •  Practical approaches to accelerating leadership readiness
  •  Strategies to improve engagement and retention of key employees
  •  Building a stronger leadership bench for long-term success 

The session will be facilitated by Steve Cafiero, Founder of TideShift Partners, who advises executives and organizations on leadership capability, executive presence, and high-potential talent development.
