Some Thoughts on Leadership:

“Succession management is a bit like life insurance. Everyone knows it’s important, but few of us like to talk about why it’s necessary. However, far sighted organizations …understand the benefits of developing leadership talent from within, rather than simply replacing it from the outside.” Growing Your Companies Leaders by Robert M. Fulmer and Jay A. Conger.

“People who want to share leadership responsibilities and tap the talent around them need new ways of working together. They need to establish a common understanding of what will be delivered, how they can more effectively work together, and how they will assess their leadership performance.” Leading for Change by Ralph Jacobson.
