Resumen del Editor

Strong leaders at all levels within an organization are a requisite for business success. Yet the leadership pipeline—the internal architecture for growing leaders—is often broken or non-existent. This updated edition of the best-selling The Leadership Pipeline has been revised to help address the challenges of today’s business environment. Anchored in experience, it offers a tested model for planning leadership succession and development that has proven to get results. The authors draw on their work at more than one hundred international companies to report on what has been learned in the ten years since the first edition of The Leadership Pipeline was published. They show how a company can develop leadership in each layer of their organization by defining the different skills required as leaders move from one level to the next. They explain how time should be applied differently, how work values required for success must change, and clearly illustrate what inappropriate leadership looks like at each step. In addition, the authors answer commonly asked questions and add new insights from their in-the-field research. The Leadership Pipeline shows how today’s companies can keep their leadership “pipeline” filled and flowing to ensure a steady supply of skilled leaders throughout the organization.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

In the first character.

too many managers and kept getting lost.

i had a hard time with the multiple managers, but was good to see the good and bad types of managers arms was able to relate it to my current life.

Boring and repetitive

The narrator is very boring to listen to - so much so that I kept zoning out and having to rewind. The content is good in the beginning but was very repetitive halfway through all the way to the end. This book could be cut in half. I would not recommend it.

Good insight

Depending on where you are in your development, as a leader, it brings a good insight into how organisations work and why

No, I finished it (first time) in a few days.

I have returned and listen to part 1 several times. I do find part 1 suits my current needs the most and possible will bring most value, to other people that set-out listing to this book

Dense material good content

Great for upper management of big corporations
Not applicable to small businesses under $20 mil revenue
First chapters are great for early upcoming management
Great for business acumen

Repetitive

The material was new to me so I enjoyed it, but the repetition between the chapters was a bit tiresome at times.

Very insightful and useful for any Leader

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The logic behind the pipeline concept is so simple and yet very rare to find in corporations. This book is a must for any business person in a corporation and wants to understand which are the specific skills/capabilities needed to grow in their career and take very different leadership positions.
I found it a critical concept for any leader that wants to better prepare talent to generate the greatest value in the company. Very simple: Talent is not alone and experience, much more needs to be done by a company to achieve success with the leadership talent.
I wish more companies apply these concepts to complement their talent development strategies.

Any additional comments?

Sometimes he books gets to detailed making some chapters a little slow. Overall great listen with very simple concepts.

Great content!

They outline a fantastic plan for growing any organization by developing leaders from within! Highly recommended.

As mindblowing as "Principles"

If you work in an organization are care at all about your company, your career, or the development of others, you need to read this book.
