Von der hinteren Coverseite

Robust and adaptive leadership is necessary for business success in today’s rapidly changing world. Without proper leadership scouting, training, and retention, static and non-adaptive organizations can find themselves in increasing disarray due to an unqualified and unprepared leadership team.

In The Leadership Pipeline, a team of seasoned leadership practitioners presents a framework for identifying future leaders, assessing their competence, planning their development, coaching them through challenges, and assessing the results of those efforts. The highly qualified authors integrate their leadership development process (a proven one, based on their extensive experience inside top companies) with a succession planning process that enables companies to line up skilled leaders for critical positions throughout the company.

Building on the success of previous editions, this newly updated and revised Third Edition covers a variety of emerging leadership challenges:

• Digitization has enabled business decision making at lower levels, requiring additional skills, a different allocation of time, and slightly different work values
• Employee leverage, especially for knowledge workers, where employees increasingly feel empowered to have their needs and interests met
• Societal pressure, demanding organizations of all kinds make changes in the way they operate and what leaders at all levels must focus on
• Global uncertainty, including climate change, inflation, and migration, forcing leaders to improvise and adapt to unforeseen yet highly impactful external circumstances

Chief executives, future leaders, and talent development specialists can harness the proven framework, tools, and techniques in The Leadership Pipeline to change the dialogue at the executive table, focusing more on strategy and talent rather than just revenue and profit, help push accountability down the organization in a coherent way, freeing those at the top to focus more on the future while lower levels drive productivity and early operating results, and produce common standards for both performance and potential, differentiated by layers of leadership.
