Together, these authors have more first-hand experience in leadership development and succession planning than you're likely to find anywhere else. And here, they show companies how to create a pipeline of talent that will continuously fill their leadership needs-needs they may not even yet realize. The Leadership Pipeline delivers a proven framework for priming future leaders by planning for their development, coaching them, and measuring the results of those efforts. Moreover, the book presents a combination leadership-development/succession-planning program that ensures a steady line-up of leaders for every critical position within the company. It's an approach that bolsters the retention of intellectual capital as it eliminates the need to go outside for expensive "stars," who will probably jump ship before they reach their full potential anyway.

Set up your company for long-term success by building and reinforcing your leadership pipeline In the newly revised third edition of The Leadership Pipeline, a team of veteran leadership practitioners delivers a practical and essential framework for identifying future leaders, assessing their competence, planning their development, nurturing their talents, and analyzing the results of your efforts.

The book explains how to integrate your organization’s leadership development process with a succession plan that provides your company with a ready supply of capable leaders. You’ll discover the tools and techniques you need to knit together your succession and leadership development programs and constantly renew your leadership pipeline.

Port-au-Prince, 12. Januar 2010, Tag des verheerenden Erdbebens in Haiti, das sich dieses Jahr zum zehnten Mal jährt.

Um dem Chaos der zerstörten Stadt zu entkommen und um Bernard zu helfen, schlägt Amore ihm eine Reise nach Rom vor. Ein poetischer Roman voll bissigem Humor über Liebe, Sex, Verwirrung, Irrsinn und die absurden Seiten der internationalen Hilfe in einer rhythmischen, magisch-kreativen Sprache, der seinen Titel zu Recht trägt.
