Abstract:

“Practice what you preach” is often a phrase used to emphasize the importance of maintaining one’s
integrity through performing as one advises others. In the case of succession management, this phrase
can be used to emphasize the differences between educators and practitioners. Furthermore, it is the
practice of educators to instill in students the understanding that a succession plan is necessary in
business practices. However, within the confines of higher education, succession management plans are
rare. This brings into question if institutions are aware of the immoral implications that it establishes by
teaching a concept itself is unwilling to implement.
