The CEO within

"In The CEO Within, Joseph Bower affirms that CEOs today wield enormous power, playing a determining role in their companies' long-term success - or failure. Bower shows how companies can put chief executives in place; who guide their organizations to exceptional performance. Drawing on a decade's research as well as personal experience in managing the subtleties of the succession process, Bower explains how companies can develop a cohort of internal candidates - one of whom may be suited to the increasingly demanding CEO role."--BOOK JACKET.
