The need for succession planning is reaching crisis proportions, yet few organizations are willing to face the crisis and do something about it. There's nothing magic here---just a realistic, comprehensvie, flexible approach to get the job done. The strenghts in this book: - Finding the right devleopmental activity for the right level of management - Design, gain support, and implement, and maintain your succession process. - Lots of extras, including assessments and a plan to devleop a mentoring program. A great value.

Rothwell provides not only an excellent review of the current literature but countless worksheets for practice. If you are interested in succession planning issues this book is a must. I would also recommend "The Leadership Pipeline" by Charan, Drotter, & Noel. And buy a copy of "Strategic Organizational Learning" by Beitler. Beitler has several free articles on his website "[...]" that are also helpful. Laura Taylor Baltimore, MD

This is a very good book. In addition to this, I would strongly recommend "Strategic Organizational Change" by Beitler. The two books make a powerful combination.
