An insiders look at how a successful leadership pipeline can make or break a company starting out at GE, where he headed up the companys leadership institute and revamped the leadership pipeline under Jack Welch, Noel Tichy has served as a trusted advisor on management succession to such leading companies as Royal Dutch Shell, Nokia, Intel, Ford, MercedesBenz, Merck and Caterpillar. Now Tichy draws on decades of handson experience working with CEOs and boards to provide a framework for building a smart, effective transition pipeline, whether for a multibillion dollar conglomerate, a family business, a small startup or a nonprofit. Through revealing case studies like Hewlett Packard, IBM, Yahoo, P&G, Intel and J. C. Penney, he examines why some companies fail and others succeed in training and sustaining the next generation of senior leaders. He highlights the common mistakes that can generate embarrassing headlines and may even call an organizations survival into question and reveals the best practices of those who got it right. Tichy also positions leadership talent development and succession where they belong-at the top of every leaders agenda. About the Author Noel M. Tichy is the author of Judgment, Judgment on the Front Line, Control Your Destiny or Someone Else will and many other business bestsellers.
