The Leadership Pipeline: How to Build the Leadership-Powered Company by Ram Charan Stephen Drotter and James Noel (2001) Jossey-Bass
The premise of this important book is that it is no longer sufficient to move people up to higher levels of responsibility based on past performance without ensuring they have what it takes to succeed in new and different positions. Of course this makes sense, but few organizations have adequately defined the different requirements in higher levels of leadership.
The analogy of a pipeline with sharp turns is helpful. The authors leave nothing up to chance, nothing is assumed.
This book is a great manual for organizations willing to transform their succession plans from replacement charts to leadership development programs.
I've written an article based on this book, Winning the War for Leadership Talent, available for your newsletters through www.CustomizedNewsletters.com .
