Succession planning isn’t just about filling roles — it’s about protecting your district.

In this episode of School Business Insider, host John Brucato is joined by Bob Bayles and Will Lukang to discuss how succession planning must evolve from a reactive task into a strategic leadership priority.

They explore leadership risk, mentorship, and the importance of developing future leaders through intentional coaching — especially during high-impact moments.
