Some have been reunified with their loved ones, found forever families, while others have joined a community of support. But one thing that is true for most, if not all of our youth thriving after foster care, is that they would benefit in finding at least one significant person that believes in them and challenges them to be the best versions of themselves. This person will often become a mentor. Mentoring is essential to the development of the youths in foster care whether it is formal or informal. For the majority of youth in foster care, there is no safety net to rely on during the transition from dependence to independence. This places even more importance on those caring adults…

In this respect, a strategy to identify and develop individuals with the aim of promoting them on to positions when they become vacant is of significant importance and is commonly referred to as succession planning (Weisblat, 2018). The importance of succession planning is evident from the fact that, aside from the natural retirement, when top management personnel is deceased, for instance, an organization must fill the gap with an immediate successor to at least ensure that the business does not go off the track. However, in the absence of a competent successor, the ship could end up sinking on its own (Weisblat, 2018).
