How CHROs can turn succession planning into a true leadership accelerator with Aja Howell
Oct 23, 2025
In this 30-minute CHRO Chat, Cindy Lu and Aja Howell unpack how to turn succession planning into a true leadership accelerator. Aja shares the behind-the-scenes systems that move talent conversations from static binders to dynamic, development-driven conversations.
They cover:
- Building alignment around what C-suite readiness looks like
- Defining executive presence behaviorally so leaders know how to grow
- Embedding learning into the workday instead of pulling leaders out for long sessions
- How to use AI tools to accelerate calibration and competency modeling
This is a must-watch for CHROs who want to stop reacting to leadership gaps and start engineering readiness for the future.
