Product Description:
A leader's greatest challenge can be knowing when it's time to step aside. A great deal has been written for corporate boards on the issue of succession planning. But most executives have few resources to help guide them through the process. How do you start preparing yourself--and your successor--for your inevitable leadership transition?
In this concise book, leading executive coach and bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith offers candid advice on succession from the outgoing executive's perspective. From choosing and grooming a successor while sidestepping political minefields, to finally handing over responsibility, Goldsmith walks you through each step in the succession process.
Done right, your successor can enter to applause while you gracefully bow out and start the next chapter of your life.

His advice is concise to a fault. If you want details you will not find them here. But if you want to know an expert's thoughts on what your top priorities should be, and can fill in the details for yourself, you will ... Read More

I once spoke with the CEO of the multi-billion company I worked for.
It was backstage at a conference, and he was using one of our monitor PCs to check out his PowerPoint presentation. "Excuse me, Joe," I said, "would you mind moving?"
And in that moment, in that instance that is recounted in so many business books, he did.
Obviously he thought that was sage advice well taken, because I didn't lose my job. I'm sure when the time comes for Joe to step down, he'll also ... Read More
