Now I can cross "write a book" off my bucket list and I can include "author" in my official bio. (-:
There will be no book signing tour - after all, it's an eBook. I had to explain this to my Mom when she told me she went to her local Barnes and Noble and couldn't find it.
It was a trip putting it together. I got a lot of incredible help and support, learned a lot, and I sure hope my readers will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

"Dan McCarthy’s compilation of insights and tips for leaders is an incredible resource for leadership development and succession planning!"
"Dan McCarthy is one of my core leadership guides, and his guidance is practical, time-tested and incredibly relevant in a world where developing the talent around us is truly mission critical. I love this collection of some of Dan's best posts on Leadership Development and Succession Planning! He takes the H.R. speak out and puts the practical guidance in on some important and often neglected topics and activities in leadership development. The content is well organized and every chapter/post serves up something useful. And while it's fun to explore and follow his blog, this compact collection at your finger-tips is a must-have for every manager and executive."
"This book is written with an easy-going, self-deprecating style - no pontificating here! Dan McCarthy knows what he's talking about - he's both a practitioner in leadership development and has led numerous teams over the years. What I appreciate most about this book is that it's got enough specific how-to content without overwhelming the reader. Readers could easily pick up the book, read it over the weekend, make some notes and be on their way to creating a more structured and meaningful leadership development system within their organization on Monday morning."

You will find valuable, actionable information here on creating great leaders in your organization."
Section two is all about succession planning. It includes detailed guidelines for how to create a talent profile, identify critical positions and talent pools, how to identify and manage high potentials, and how to use a performance and potential matrix (a “nine box”) in a talent review meeting.
