A change of leadership is as complicated as it is exciting. In the best cases, there is genuine sadness from bidding farewell to a leader who has spent so many years guiding, directing, inspiring, and shaping an organization. Meanwhile, there is also joy and anticipation in promoting a new leader who is eager to take up the mantle and lead an organization down new roads while honoring the past. 

By this point, you have likely heard that Haberfeld has gone through a significant leadership change. And, as with every healthy leadership transition, there has been much planning, communicating, goal setting, and strategizing to make it as smooth as possible. 

In this new episode of HabChat, hosts Patrick and Susan discuss our recent leadership succession process with Dr. Sean Payant (Haberfeld President) and Achim Griesel (Haberfeld President Emeritus) and all the key factors involved in a seamless and successful leadership transition.
