attest, leadership transitions can be difficult and often have low
success rates. This book is a guide for C-suite executives and HR
leaders, showing them the principles, guidelines and actions needed to
guarantee a successful CEO transition.
Currently there is little guidance available for organisations managing
this change. This is the first book that offers advice for each role
involved in the transition, covering all steps from the point that the
candidate accepts.
