🚨 Thinking about succession planning?
Before you hand over the reins, make sure you're not flying blind.
As Mike McCloskey says in this clip:
👉 “I’d tell him to go back to his original goal… but this time, use data to find the right person.”
At Humanlytics, we guide leaders through this process using Predictive Index—and we don’t use anything else.
Here’s why:
When you’re identifying your next-in-line, there are four critical filters that help you hire smarter and reduce turnover:
1️⃣ The Briefcase – What’s their experience? Do they bring aligned industry knowledge or a growth-ready background?
2️⃣ The Heart – Do they share your core values? Will they make the same hard calls you would, even at a cost?
3️⃣ Cognitive Speed – How fast can they learn? Will they adapt and scale with your company?
4️⃣ Behavioral Drives – Do their natural drives align with the demands of the role and your leadership style?
Without this kind of data, you're making emotional bets on a business-critical decision.
📊 We help organizations like yours eliminate hiring guesswork with talent optimization backed by Predictive Index.
