Reseña del editor:

Organizations that don't take steps to plan for future talent needs at all levels, will face certain disruptions, and even disasters, when key employees leave. Still the most comprehensive and authoritative book on the subject, this new edition of Effective Succession Planning presents strategies for creating a complete, systematic succession planning program.

Updated and expanded to reflect the latest trends and best practices in succession management, the book contains 20% new material, including chapters on recruitment and retention as part of succession planning, as well as updated references and research. The book also includes a CD-Rom filled with worksheets, assessment tools, and training guides...everything readers need to help lead their organizations into the future.

Contraportada:

Let’s say tomorrow morning your most valuable executive announced that she was leaving to accept a similar position elsewhere. What if you had to cope with the loss of certain key members of the management team you’ve come to rely on? Are there certain technical or specialized positions at your company with only one person who knows how to do them? Is your organization prepared for the loss of your most crucial players? In short: Do you have a rock-solid succession plan in place?

The most comprehensive and authoritative book on the subject, now updated and expanded to reflect the latest trends and best practices, the fourth edition of Effective Succession Planning provides you with the tools and guidance you need to revamp your succession strategy, create and put in place a new one, and arm yourself against the trauma of personnel shakeups...all without missing a beat.
