Description: The best leadership benches aren't bought — they're built, and they're built together.   In the finale of The CHRO Paradox series, Stacie makes the data-led case that developing the next generation of leaders is the most rewarding work a CEO and CHRO ever share.   From the "founder returns" headlines to the 54% financial-performance edge of companies that develop leaders at every level, this episode reframes succession from a risk to manage into a partnership to build.
