The Most Realistic Part of Succession? Millions of viewers watched the finale of the HBO show Succession this past weekend.  As a passionate advocate for effective succession planning, I certainly enjoyed the hyped up drama, the unpredictability and the suspense of the show, up to its very last minute.  Spoiler alert: if you haven’t yet seen the last episode, you’ll want to stop here. For all the hyperbole of Succession, one element from the finale is all too real in many corporate settings.  In the end, none of the “successor candidates” were moved to CEO, and an unexpected leader took the realm of the company.  Everything we hope for in a good succession process - stability, predictability, intention - was missing.  And in that way, I’ve seen too many key leadership roles filled with surprise candidates - even after what appeared to be thoughtful succession planning. So, what lesson can we learn from the Succession finale?  That leaving such a momentous decision like this to undisciplined planning puts companies at extreme risk, and it doesn’t have to be that way.  Would anyone have predicted the end result at the start of the show?  In the end, the Succession series was a master class in how not to manage succession - a vivid (albeit fictional) example of what can happen when companies underestimate the importance of planning for the future.  https://lnkd.in/g5z5kSH5

What I love about this episode is the context Denny adds combined with the data David offers. So do you think Barbie will change consumer expectations around other films?

"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨" In the final episode of the original 'Walking Dead' series, that quote really resonated with me. It embodies a sense of resolve and alignment between these characters that's truly beautiful. It felt like the world in that show had a sense of providence, giving it a deeper significance. And as (die-hard) fan of the 'Walking Dead Universe', seeing its spin-offs with timelines all connected and overlapping was just mind-blowing. When I first heard about their plans for it, I thought it was nothing short of genius 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 What really got me buzzing was how these spin-offs expanded the storylines. You know, different timelines, stories within stories — it felt like peeling back layers of an onion, discovering new depths to the universe. It got me pondering about my own creative projects, like this TV drama I'm workin on. Maybe I could borrow a page from their playbook? 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐏 These line extensions, sprouting from the original series with diverse timelines and nested stories, have really fueled my creative fire. It's a smart way to make the most out of the entire intellectual property, giving beloved characters their own moment (backstory) in the spotlight or weaving their parallel narratives seamlessly alongside the main plot. And it's not just 'The Walking Dead' — there are other shows that have done this too, and I'm a huge fan. You've got 'Powerbook', 'Stargate', 'Star Trek', the 'MCU', 'Star Wars' — the list goes on. It's like these miniverses just keep expanding, giving us more to explore and get lost in. What are your thoughts on creating miniverses and expanding the storylines? My #dream is to facilitate this with ROYALNIFTY - follow us to stay tuned! #tv #IP #miniverses #tvshow #ROYALNIFTY P.S. I originally asked Midjourney to generate a Rick Grimes and Michonne on top of their world, but sadly Midjourney doesn't know a black Michonne... So I resorted to their cover artwork.
