By Robert I Sutton, Robert I Sutton, Huggy Rao

And having leaders at all levels requires a constantly renewing pipeline of new leaders. The problem is, the pipeline at most companies is bone dry. Companies invest in leadership development programs and establish elaborate succession frameworks, but don't knit the two together nor take into account the fact that talented people are often recruited away. They prepare leaders in the image of the existing leaders, assuming those same skills will be meaningful into the future - when, in fact, most companies don't have a clue about what skills will be needed of their leaders in the future"--.
