Marshall Goldsmith’s newest book, Succession: Are You Ready? is the latest addition to the Harvard Business ‘Memo to the CEO’ series.
This book is written in the form of a series of memos to the CEO of a major company, and delves into the human side of the executive succession process. Dr. Goldsmith builds upon his 31 years of experience as an executive advisor to the world’s leading corporations and shares ‘real world’ examples of the challenges and opportunities in top management transition. While the book is written as letters to a fictional CEO, the learnings apply to leaders at all levels – who are faced with the prospect of either letting go or developing their successor.

"To Marshall Goldsmith: Thank You for Writing This Book
(And We're Not Sucking Up):
Marshall Goldsmith is one of the most successful of corporate America's celebrity coaches -- he typically makes upwards of a quarter-million dollars for a year or so of work with each individual client -- and is also one of the best. ... The beauty of Goldsmith's approach lies not just in the simplicity of his insights, but also in the clarity of his advice. ... Goldsmith has written a leadership manual that could double as a guide to good parenting and marital peace."

Leader of the Month |
Frances Hesselbein
Frances spoke recently about how essential our democracy is and the current plight of our schools, saying in New York City 1 of 2 children will not graduate from high school, and 1 out of 5 in Los Angeles. She laments the 5.5 million young people ages 16-24 who live on the streets of our cities: jobless, homeless, hopeless, no future.
"I think there have been two institutions that have sustained the democracy since the beginning of our country. One is the U.S. Army and the other is public education. We are stretching one, and public education is failing millions of our children. Both are essential. You cannot sustain a democracy unless you educate all of your children. For too many people these are the invisible children. They are not. What happens to a country when we do not educate all of our children? So far our response has been to build more prisons. That is not what a democracy does.”
She quotes one of her mentors, John W. Gardner: “This nation could die of comfortable indifference to the problems that only citizens can solve.”
Frances is currently working with a local faith-based organization that urges each church to adopt a school, and make sure it has a library, textbooks, materials, computers and opportunities for the teachers.
Frances leaves me with this mission: “I have a sense of urgency. We need to take care of our children, and we need to improve the level of trust in our country. We have the highest level of cynicism and the lowest level of trust in my whole lifetime, in my own country. What can we do individually and in groups to build a higher level of trust?”
Frances believes in circular leadership, which means she trusts us to be the citizens in our communities to reach out and improve our society. “All of us have a responsibility,” she says. “It is not someone else’s business. It is our business.”
