In this book, the authors expose the profound leadership crisis that has, or will, impact virtually every enterprise. They introduce the acceleration pool: a system that looks within the organization to identify potential leaders, prepares them quickly, and deploys them rapidly. They cover every aspect of leadership development and succession planning, helping you understand the types of executives your organization will need, diagnose strengths and weaknesses, and respond quickly. They cover processes, roles, establishing accountability, metrics, and the role of the CEO in executive development. More than any other book, Grow Your Own Leaders reflects today's realities, offering techniques that will work no matter how fast your organization or marketplace evolves.
