They talk about executive searches, particularly, the process of filling an executive position such as a president or provost, which has a price tag. They discussed how colleges can prepare to enter the executive search, how much a search could cost in money and time, and how internal succession planning can be advantageous. \n\nScott Flanagan believes that the fight for talent right now won't be changing much because of demographics. There will continue to be more retirements at the senior level, because of its astounding level of turnover. Between retirements, natural turnover, and the increasing challenges and pressures that are coming with executive roles, he sees that as his best guess for what the near term looks like. \n\nScott gives valuable insights on how to distinguish whether to fill a position in your organization through internal or external hiring and how to effectively provide information for search firms in helping you find the right candidate.
