Synopsis
It's rare for leaders to prepare for the day that they will leave their role. In fact, just 17% of organizations have a documented succession plan. Yet, healthy organizations are integral to long-lasting and mission-driven organizations. Actively preparing for transition is the best way to ensure that the vitality of the mission lasts well beyond one leader's tenure. In this book, Peter Greer and Doug Fagerstrom outline the heart postures and practices that equip leaders to release or receive the mission. With compelling stories and practical steps, Succession guides leaders, board members, and staff in navigating this critical moment.

About the Author
Peter Greer is the president and CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered economic development organization serving throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.
Prior to joining HOPE, Peter worked internationally as a microfinance adviser in Cambodia and Zimbabwe and as managing director for Urwego Bank in Rwanda. He received a B.S. in international business from Messiah University and an MPP in political and economic development from Harvard's Kennedy School.
Peter's favorite part of his job is spending time with the entrepreneurs HOPE serves--whether harvesting coffee with farmers in Rwanda, dancing alongside savings groups in Haiti, or visiting the greenhouses of entrepreneurs in Ukraine.
As an advocate for the Church's role in missions and alleviating extreme poverty, Peter has co-authored over 10 books, including Mission Drift (selected as a 2015 Book Award Winner from Christianity Today), Rooting for Rivals (selected as a 2019 Leadership Resource of the Year in Outreach magazine), The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good (selected as one of the top 40 books on poverty by WORLD magazine) and Created to Flourish (which his mom reviewed with five stars and a smiley face emoji).
More important than his role at HOPE is his role as husband to Laurel and dad to Keith, Liliana, Myles, and London. While his sports loyalties remain in New England, Peter and his family live in Lancaster, PA.
From the Back Cover
A practical guide to passing the leadership baton
"There is no success without succession. Those two 's' words sit nearly back to back in the dictionary, but sadly, they are often worlds apart in real life. The mission of an organization is never more vulnerable than during a transition in leadership. As much as a decade of focus, momentum, and direction can be lost in this season! And the difference between a successful succession and failure--a fumbled process--can mean life or death for the organization. Leaders and boards carry no greater responsibility than to shepherd well this passing of the baton. Peter and Doug have created an invaluable resource to help your ministry bring together 'succession' and 'success.'" -Dr. Wess Stafford, president emeritus, Compassion International; author of Too Small to Ignore: Why Children Are the Next Big Thing and Just a Minute: In the Heart of a Child, One Moment Can Last Forever
"Doug and Peter join their expertise with a broad network of succession veterans. This book invites us into that network, and we learn valuable lessons in the stories of others." -Leith Anderson, president emeritus of National Association of Evangelicals
