Technical competence fills a role, but emotional intelligence, communication, and adaptability sustain a culture.

Leadership transitions shouldn’t threaten stability — they should strengthen it.

The Succession Leadership Development Toolkit gives community banks a practical, regulator-ready roadmap for identifying, developing, and empowering your next generation of leaders.

Developed specifically for community banks, this toolkit blends proven leadership science with community-bank culture. You’ll find structured templates, coaching tools, and dashboards designed to make your board’s succession conversations smarter, faster, and more effective.

What’s Inside

MBTI Reflection Worksheet

Build self-awareness across your leadership team. Help potential successors understand their decision-making and communication styles — and how to flex under pressure.

EQ Coaching Tracker

Turn emotional intelligence into a measurable skill. Track progress in self-regulation, empathy, and influence with a simple coaching template that supports quarterly board reviews.

Kouzes & Posner IDP

Move from theory to behavior. Use the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership to create development plans rooted in real-world leadership actions that build trust and inspire teams.

Leadership Readiness Dashboard

Translate leadership growth into data the board can see. Monitor readiness levels, track EQ progress, and visualize your succession pipeline — all in one editable Excel dashboard.
