  1. Packed with Knowledge

Offering plenty of inside information and real-life corporate examples, the authors explore their ideas without resorting to fluff or to the dry, dull prose that often fills such books. Given their experience helping corporations choose CEOs and other executives, the authors know what they're talking about and understand the tricky issues involved in putting any advice into practice. Their book delivers what it promises, and given that it can be repetitive, it delivers on some of those promises two or three times

  1. An important book for investors, advisors and leaders

 

When considering the challenge of extending the benefits of a strong Founder or CEO to a future without that individual, CEO succession by Dennis Carey is an indispensable book.

-- Jason Baumgarten

  1. Insightful book for all of our life transitions

While this charmingly written book is obviously written for CEOs and Boards of Directors, I found it to be highly relevant to other phases of life from high school graduation to being promoted.

From the best practices of business icons we can all learn a great deal about how to built a more lasting business, club, or school in addition to finding a happy approach to leaving something that has significant meaning.

CEO Succession is precisely what companies, executives, and their boards need in today's highly volatile environment. By establishing the principles and best practices of succession in a highly readable way, Carey and Ogden provide a compelling roadmap for boards and top executives to follow to ensure that leadership continues unabated into the future.

  1. Leaders should follow the guidance in this book

An invaluable guide to this very difficult problem. Ogden, perhaps the world's leading expert in this field, makes a compelling case for deliberate long term planning, tailored to an enterprise's specific needs. His laserlike focus and penetrating analysis seem like a hidden national treasure.
