Synopsis

Corporate America's leading consultant explains how top companies solve the problem of leadership succession. A serious crisis looms in American management today. More and more CEOs are failing; there remains an acute shortage of capable replacements. The true dilemma in leadership is the stagnant state of corporate leadership development. Because companies fail to hone their unit managers' leadership abilities, they are never able to fill their succession pipelines. With unit managers stagnating, companies have difficulty executing at every level, compounding the crisis. Now, bestselling author Ram Charan shows how top companies approach leadership development as a core competency, recognizing that an adaptable leadership pool is a competitive advantage, and focusing their attention on bringing out the best in the leaders they have. Charan reveals exactly what's wrong with corporate leadership development and tells how to make it right. He explains the concept of a leadership "gene pool" and shows how companies can discover just what "DNA" they need to succeed. He also details how to uncover the hidden leaders in a company, when and where to bring in fresh talent, how to coach, measure, and reward leadership, and much more.
For CEOs, directors, and anyone involved in leadership development, Leaders at All Levels will be an eye-opening guide on how to get succession right.

Goodreads review by Jeff

Some useful advice about planning for succession at a company, but the book was a little dry and too focused on the CEO level for my tastes. I would have liked a little more info that applied to more than just the <1% of employees who occupy the corner c-suite.......more

Goodreads review by Logan

This book was really not meant for me. It focuses on C suite level leadership, which its a pretty small segment of people. I did appreciate the apprentice model of development but focusing on C suite personnel leaves a lot people wanting more.......more
