"Many of the best and most
successful corporations in the world have adopted the Leadership
Pipeline model as the core framework for their efforts on the human
side of their businesses.
Built around the common leadership 'passages' all leaders go
through, it helps organizations select, develop, and assess based on
specific responsibilities and work values at each leadership
level." —from the Foreword
Strong leaders at all levels within an organization are a requisite
for business success. Yet the leadership pipeline—the internal
architecture for growing leaders—is often broken or nonexistent.
This updated edition of the best-selling The Leadership Pipeline has
been revised to help address the challenges of today's business
environment. Anchored in experience, it offers a tested model for
planning leadership succession and development that has proven to
get results.
The authors draw on their work at more than one hundred
international companies to report on what has been learned in the
ten years since the first edition of The Leadership Pipeline was
published. They show how a company can develop leadership in each
layer of their organization by defining the different skills
required as leaders move from one level to the next. They explain
how time should be applied differently, how work values required for
success must change, and clearly illustrate what inappropriate
leadership looks like at each step. In addition, the authors answer
commonly asked questions and add new insights from their
in-the-field research.
The Leadership Pipeline shows how today's companies can keep their
leadership "pipeline" filled and flowing to ensure a steady supply
of skilled leaders throughout the organization.
Praise for The
Leadership Pipeline
"Management Development 101—but
only if you have read the book and understood and acted on the
processes so clearly articulated. While these are first principles,
it is very useful to have them set out. I have seen them work to
great effect in several companies."
—John B. Prescott, chairman, QR National Limited
"The wisdom added to this second
edition is based on experience working with many of the best
companies in the world. Whether you are a first-time reader or
rejoining the conversation, this book adds critical points and
answers that can be used immediately in your leadership work to make
your business better. Charan, Drotter, and Noel make clear what can
be confusing about the work of a leader at every level."
—Tom Flanagan, president and CEO, Applied Insight Consulting,
Inc. "The Leadership
Pipeline has the ability to transform a company. The leadership
concepts are enduring and simple enough that managers at every level
can quickly grasp what it means to be a highly effective leader. The
authors, Charan, Drotter, and Noel, are true leadership development
'gurus' and continue to provide us with the best thinking in
developing the world's future generation of business leaders."
