In American vernacular, this procedure is known as "cronyism".  

Generally, one doesn't expect to see this advocated in a public forum ;-)

In the corporate world, it's called "succession planning", and part
the responsibilities and duties of every responsible leader.

We actually have something rather close to this already, which is the
various Area Directorates.  Different areas seem to have different
levels of health in terms of how active the directorate is, how formal
is directorate membership, and how much work gets delegated from the
AD(s) to the directorate.
