Book description
Learn how top companies solve the problem of leadership succession from
corporate America's leading consultant.
A serious crisis looms in American management today. More and more
CEOs are failing; there remains an acute shortage of capable
replacements. The true dilemma in leadership is the stagnant state of
corporate leadership development. Because companies fail to hone their
unit managers' leadership abilities, they are never able to fill their
succession pipelines. With unit managers stagnating, companies have
difficulty executing at every level, compounding the crisis. In
I>Leaders at All Levels, bestselling author Ram Charan shows how
top companies approach leadership development as a core competency,
recognizing that an adaptable leadership pool is a competitive
advantage, and focusing their attention on bringing out the best in
the leaders they have.
Charan reveals exactly what's wrong with corporate leadership
development and tells how to make it right. He explains the concept of
a leadership "gene pool" and shows how companies can
discover just what "DNA" they need to succeed. He also
details how to uncover the hidden leaders in a company, when and where
to bring in fresh talent, how to coach, measure, and reward
leadership, and much more. For CEOs, directors, and anyone involved in
leadership development, Leaders at All Levels is an eye-opening
guide on how to get succession right.
