Product Description

Product Description

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.

From the Back Cover

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.

Extremely Helpful 28 Aug 2005
By Laura, EVP - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Rothwell provides not only an excellent review of the current literature but countless worksheets for practice. If you are interested in succession planning issues this book is a must. I would also recommend "The Leadership Pipeline" by Charan, Drotter, & Noel. And buy a copy of "Strategic Organizational Learning" by Beitler. Beitler has several free articles on his website "[...]" that are also helpful.

Insightful! 15 July 2002
By Rolf Dobelli - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
In exhaustive detail William J. Rothwell shows you the hows and whys of succession planning and management in this second edition of his landmark book. Given the general corporate predilection for systems and bureaucracies, top executives and managers of both large and small businesses will revel in the way Rothwell lays out his well-researched plan. His ample how-to lists and charts can be adapted to fit almost any industry. Despite the author's scholarly credentials and depth of information, his writing is not academic. We from getAbstract recommend this book to executives and managers, particularly if your company doesn't already have a succession plan.

Like a lot of other things---it's only as good as you apply it 12 May 2007
By J. Brodnicki - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The need for succession planning is reaching crisis proportions, yet few organizations are willing to face the crisis and do something about it.

There's nothing magic here---just a realistic, comprehensvie, flexible approach to get the job done. The strenghts in this book:

- Finding the right devleopmental activity for the right level of management

- Design, gain support, and implement, and maintain your succession process.

- Lots of extras, including assessments and a plan to devleop a mentoring program.

A great value.
