Why you should read Effective Succession Planning
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. getAbstract.com recommends this book to executives and managers, particularly if your company doesn’t already have a succession plan.
