- What is your senior leadership team going to look like in three years?
- Do you have the internal talent you need to execute our strategic priorities over the next three years? For which positions are we likely to need to look externally?
- What are you doing to develop internal talent?
- Who are the rising stars that we should meet?
- What are you doing to develop yourself?
- What can we do to help you with your development or development of your staff?
