Bottom-line Executive Development

Downsizing, mergers, loss of employee loyalty and a growing shortage of ready-now executive talents are increasing the importance of developing internal candidates to fill key leadership positions. The need for superior executive talent has never been greater, and yet companies are finding it increasingly more difficult to attract and retain top performers. This makes it imperative that organizations identify and develop leadership talent from within. Stressing the importance of creating individual development plans, this book addresses ways to create more industry-specific and company-focused programs linked to strategic objectives. It incorporates survey data from major corporations representing a variety of industries including financial services, chemical, pharmaceutical, computer, telecommunications, hospitality and consumer products.
