COMING AUGUST 2019! A company full of potential CEOs would be one of
the greatest assets an organization could ever hope to acquire. Are you
ready to roll up your sleeves to make it happen? The Leaders Within:
Engagement, Leadership Development, and Succession Planning presents an
integrated model for creating an organizational infrastructure in which
leadership development acts as a funnel for succession planning. When
they follow this guidance, readers can enhance their organization's
learning, leadership, and longevity. The authors draw on their
real-world experience in a large health system to define the three
unique roles in creating a successful leadership development and
succession planning program: the Visionary, who helps the organization
and its employees see their future potential; the Architect, who
oversees the actual implementation of the program; and the Board
Advocate, who secures the governing board's support for the process.
Readers will recognize which role they personally play and gain a deeper
understanding of how their organization can embed leadership development
and succession planning in its DNA. Examples and case studies gathered
from over the course of a decade are used to address topics such as:
Achieving buy-in from the board and executive teamIdentifying potential
succession candidates Assessing candidates' strengths and opportunities
for developmentReplacing key leaders while maintaining leadership
continuity Succession planning and leadership development are two
manifestations of the same core principles: a commitment to company
values, a desire to foster leadership potential, and a long-term vision
for the organization's success. Readers of this book will acquire
insight and learn methods for helping redefine their organizations' next
generation of leadership.
