Effective succession planning

"The survival of any organization depends on a steady stream of leadership talent. Yet downsizing, buyouts, early retirement offers, and other forms of restructuring are wreaking havoc on the efforts of many employers to maintain management continuity. Here at last is the first book to address succession planning in terms of the new business environment.

Useful for creating effective succession strategies that can be applied at nearly any level in the organization - and attuned to such current issues as reengineering, diversity, and teamwork."--BOOK JACKET.
