Preface to the Third Edition
xxix
▲ A CD-ROM has been added to the book—a major addition in its own
right—and it contains reproducible copies of all assessment instruments
and worksheets that appear in the book as well as three separate
briefings/workshops: one on mentoring, one as an executive briefing on
succession, and one on the manager’s role in succession. (The table of
contents for the CD is found at the back of this book.)
All these changes reflect the many changes that have occurred in the succession
planning and management field within the last few years and since the
last edition was published.
