"With The Talent Wave , David Clutterbuck tackles the very real, very common challenge that every organization faces: leadership succession. Some organizations handle it well; some do not. Reading The Talent Wave will help those organizations who don't handle it well bring their performance up a notch, if not more! …In The Talent Wave , David explores these critical challenges of succession and proposes the critical conversations that must take place if succession planning processes are to be successful. And, most importantly, he offers a practical solution to navigating the complexity and change of succession in today's rapidly changing business environment, which is simply to support and assist those rising to leadership positions rather than command and control the process. As organizations have become less hierarchical, so it seems must the succession planning process become less rigid and controlled." --From the Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith, Harvard Business Review's Thinkers50 world's most influential leadership thinker and author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There "Insightful, leading edge and practical. An essential guide for senior leaders and HR professionals." -- Chris Roebuck, former Global Head of Talent & Leadership UBS, "David Clutterbuck identifies common problems that business leaders face when attempting to 'grow' their organizations. ...[he] offers a system that is cohesive, compr ehensive, and cost effective." Full review here, "Talent "wave" (as opposed to talent "pool") represents the complexity and dynamism of what a succession planning process should be. Clutterbuck stresses that succession planning is something done with people, not to them. They should be supported and enabled to excel, and be invited into open, continuous career conversations. ...When talented people are given the responsibility for their own succession and career planning, HR's role is to help promote and enable conversations to take place, Clutterbuck explains. Attention is placed on coaching, mentoring, and building wider audiences in performance feedback systems. ...[I]t is definitely worth the time you have to read it. It is an exercise in critical thinking for human resource professionals, organizational managers, and employees. The real-life case studies, plus the practical examples, convinced me that Clutterbuck is spot-on." Full review here, "One day people will look back at today's HR practices and ask: "Why did we ever do things like that?" Professor Clutterbuck asks those difficult questions today, and presents a wealth of alternative approaches. These will equip organisations to be more dynamic, fluid and agile in the way they manage people, develop talent, and redefine careers.", Insightful, leading edge and practical.
