Ram has distilled his decades of work with top CEOs and organizations, so the reader doesn't need to reinvent the wheel. It's all about the people."

  • William J. Conaty
    Senior VP, Human Resources, G.E.

    "The one single thing that will make or break a company's growth and success today, tomorrow, and the day after that is the quality of leaders it can produce and keep. Ram Charan is without a doubt the go-to person on this subject. This is a must-read."

  • Dave Ulrich

The book is a marvelous mix of insight, experience, and wisdom. It will shape leadership succession for years to come."

  • Chad Holliday
    Former CEO, Dupont

    "Ram Charan's wisdom and experience come through in the profound insights that underlie this simple approach to building a better leadership pool. Any company concerned about its bench strength should follow this original and practical approach to developing leaders."

  • Securities & Investment Review
