Yet, over the past several years, a growing number of CEOs have failed early in their terms, often with devastating consequences to their companies and stockholders. By far the most common problem is a lack of ownership of the CEO succession process. \u003ci\u003eInside CEO Succession\u003c\/i\u003e provides businesses, leaders, and boards with the strategies they need to execute their responsibilities with a heightened level of professionalism and ensure the sustained success of the companies they serve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by Dr. Thomas J.

The culmination of RHR's 65 years of experience providing expert counsel to the boards of directors of hundreds of companies, it explains how ego, role-relationships, power, and human dynamics associated with relinquishing leadership, preparing successors, and ceding power and authority to other people create undetected problems in the succession process and ultimately cause many CEOs to fail early in their tenures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistills RHR's 65 years of experience helping businesses deal with CEO succession into one practical resource\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents strategies to enable boards to understand their role in succession planning and how to source leadership that best fits their organization's culture and requirements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrings together business acumen and psychological insight to help readers better prepare for more effective CEO succession\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo be successful, CEO succession requires a well-defined course of action that ensures that a number of highly capable candidates are ready to assume the chief executive position whether through an unexpected event or a planned transition. \u003ci\u003eInside CEO Succession\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to help boards comprehensively manage that process and effectively sustain their company's profitability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword: Douglas R.
