    Succession management is a comprehensive system of assessment and development processes that support the attraction, development, rewarding and retaining talented individuals, from entry level position to senior management level. The succession in management programs may include employees and volunteers of the organization’s top to lower levels. Depending on the organization’s size or position, we may be consider different approaches to succession and talent in management and the types of opportunities offered to employees and volunteers to gain knowledge and capabilities. A sport organization can target an individual role (voluntary leadership role), the particular professional expertise or more general classifications (program coordinator). There are several key principles that contribute to effective succession in management, but, like within any other process, barriers in achieving effectiveness also exist within the processes of succession and talent in management. Jacobs (2005) suggests that there are six types of "slippage": inaccurate information and limited choices; a focus on one person for each specific role; a poor development of experience; misunderstanding of what is necessary for future success; failure in the implementation and exactly follow; the lack of explanations. Bernthal & Wellins (2006, pp 31-41) have identified five directions within the programs of succession and talent in management: a) extending succession in management to lower levels of the organization; b) a successful profile to assess promptness; c) the person''s total assessment for development; d) the selection of talents and experienced working population; e) accelerated development by teaching applied network of mentors / tutors.
