The Importance of Succession Planning
Succession planning, as seen through the examples of Antoninus and Marcus Aurelius, highlights the significance of choosing and mentoring successors effectively. Antoninus not only chose Marcus as his successor but also shared power with him during their reign. Marcus, in turn, shared power with Lucius Verus. This exceptional succession planning deviated from the norm of passing power to biological heirs and emphasized the importance of selecting and preparing qualified individuals for leadership roles.
