Resilient to the CEO revolving door

Preparing for a smooth CEO succession. Nurturing future leaders in the pipeline. Both are hallmarks of most admired companies, says Fortune’s Sheridan Prasso.

CEOs can get dumped more quickly than you can say “backdated stock options” in this post-Sarbanes-Oxley world. That’s one reason companies that do an effective job of CEO succession planning - and of training and keeping their next generation of talent - tend to be among the most admired.

Boards of such companies are more likely to have well-defined plans to cover the emergency loss of a CEO and other top executives, according to a study by Hay Group, which surveyed executives at more than 150 companies around the world about board governance and how they manage human capital. The follow-up research, conducted in the fourth quarter of 2006, divided the companies into two groups: those that ranked among the top three in their industries, and the rest.
