The City of Plano, Texas, was confronting a problem that many jurisdictions face--planning an orderly transition to the city's next generation of leaders. A pending wave of retirements, combined with a lack of focused preparation, threatened to create challenges and potential performance gaps. To address this situation, the city implemented a comprehensive succession planning program, known as the Management Preparation Program of Plano ([MP.sup.3]), to help employees meet high performance standards. The goal of [MP.sup.3] is to anticipate changing needs and make sure the City of Plano remains a high-performance organization.
