Paul Hamann was senior vice president of The Night Ministry, a Chicago-based not-for-profit organization. She told Hamann that Behrens had suffered a massive stroke and that physicians were unsure of his forecast. Behrens was walking the streets of rundown Chicago neighborhoods since 1976, listening to their needs looking for people in despair, and offering them a helping hand along with a consolidating existence.
In the preceding 27 years, he had structured into a well-known organization that helped tens of thousands of youth and adults every year. No succession plan, if one existed, had ever been conveyed to senior management. Hamann was unsure when or if Behrens would manage to work again. Would he be capable to carry on to direct the organization, if Behrens returned to work? If not, who'd direct The Night Ministry going even if it were only for the near term, and who would make that choice? How would the community and major donors respond to a new leader?
