Where Good Influence Comes In: Onboarding and Succession Strategy for Leadership

After eight years at the helm of E4E-Los Angeles, Ama Nyamekye launched Good Influence and began working with the co-CEOs of E4E national to develop a plan for managing organizational change through onboarding and succession planning for senior leaders across the organization.

Good Influence’s Deliverables:

• Advised co-CEOs on successful onboarding and succession strategy and planning for senior leaders

• Led internal stakeholder engagement process as well as external benchmarking to explore the best practices for organizational onboarding and succession planning

• Conducted a sustainability diagnostic of local and national leadership to identify gaps and places for focused growth

• Facilitated a collaborative design process to create a flexible toolkit for supporting senior leaders with responsible onboarding and succession planning

Why Educators for Excellence Matters:

Since launching in 2010, E4E has accomplished impressive results, from local and federal policy creation, to advocacy and implementation. Accomplishing this work in such short time requires a well-distributed leadership model and a commitment to constant growth and learning. E4E had the foresight to tap into its growth mindset by collaboratively creating onboarding and succession planning expectations and protocols with its senior leadership team.
