Succession planning in IHEs is inextricably associated with talent pool cultivation, where leaders of the future are being groomed today, in-house. It is imperative that means of cultivating the talent pool be acclimatized from the beginning to meet the needs of an organisation. It starts at the entry point of recruitment, followed by induction, continuous training and development of the talents. Each stage interacts with one another in a dynamic close-loop cycle. Regular health check of the loop is also necessary to ensure that each component remains effective in the smooth operation. In this paper, a number of strategic approaches are highlighted on how to create and sustain the talent pool within the close-loop cycle. Proper execution of these strategies could bring a threefold benefit: hidden talents identified, star potentials further developed and under-performers rejuvenated. It is an integrated system that caters not only for the future but the present too, for tomorrow is shaped and sustained by the actions of today.
