Book Overview
Turnover at the top can stimulate great changes throughout an organization. These changes can mean low morale, decreased productivity, rumors, and political infighting-or they can revitalize working relationships and opportunities to rethink outdated assumptions and forge new directions. In this book Thomas North Gilmore, a consultant to leaders in business and government, shows how executives in new positions-as well as those overseeing leadership changes-can capitalize on these opportunities and minimize the risks of making changes at the top.

Excellent -- extremely helpful

Gilmore's book was recommended to me by a colleague who'd worked with him. It is excellent -- Gilmore has given me a framework for how to approach finding a new leader in an organization I work with. Solid, filled with checklists and approaches I will use, and timeless.
Good Advice - Both in theory and practice

I picked this book up out after a friend asked me what I knew about how to manage a leadership change for a church that had a pastor who, after a long, successful tenure, was going to retire. The question smoldered for a while and I began to realize how many organizations this scenario would play out in over the next 20 years. The presidential election highlighted even more that the West is undergoing disruptive change and leadership will be critical. The book was well written and well informed in my opinion. It's a wealth of information for the relative cost and time to read it.
