Research has indicated that the aging Baby Boomer population represents impending retirements for a large cohort of public sector employees, and has predicted that these retirements would result in a shortage of prepared public leaders. Although succession plans in the private sector proactively identify and prepare future leaders, research has shown public sector succession plans to be rare. This anticipated shortage is expected to jeopardize the ability of public organizations to provide effective public services, in order to accomplish the purposes for which they were created. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to determine best practices in public sector succession planning. The theoretical foundation was based on Wang, Chiang, and Tung's human resource and knowledge management theories, and Gothard and Austin's and Wilkerson's strategic alignment theories. Research questions explored how leaders linked strategic priorities with efforts to identify and prepare individuals to fill key positions. Data were gathered from a purposeful sample of 12 of Texas's local public employment organizations, using individual interviews, field notes, and document reviews. Analysis involved coding and categorizing data to identify key themes and patterns. Findings showed that public leaders can manage succession by executing strategically aligned human resource and knowledge management business processes, and identified impediments to effective succession planning. The implications for social change include informing public leaders about the importance of developing and maintaining a consistent system for identifying and preparing future leaders; and providing a model for supporting human resource requirements, legislative demands, and organizational continuity.
