Effective change usually begins with raising awareness and this book does an effective job of raising the awareness level of the need for continuous development. Too often we promote (or hire in) our top performers to increasing leadership responsibility and expect the shift in skills to magically occur. The Pipeline provides a unique perspective on the why/how/when of leadership transitions... good cornerstone development tool!

Charam's book was assigned reading for a leadership course I am taking from, of all places, a seminary. This team of authors has hit upon an important concept that goes beyond the business world: organization's do well for themselves and their workers when they develop leaders from within. Furthermore, as we climb our organizational ladders, each promotion brings with it a call for what used to be called paradigm shifts. Should we fail to make these changes in our thinking and practices, relying instead upon previously learned skills and approaches, we hinder our effectiveness.
Much as Adam Smith explained capitalism using a simple frame work and instructive anacedotes, so Charam and his team has laid out a classic "build from within" model that is practical for large international corporations and for modest parishes.
My one suggestion, should an update be in the works, is that the authors might address the issues that sometimes arise when work colleagues suddenly become supervisor and supervised.
Bottom-line: An excellent explication of in-house leadership building and the necessary thought changes that leadership promotions bring. |

Organizations need leaders, but natural leaders are at least as rare as natural athletes. And, even natural athletes need careful training and development - given that almost everyone is capable of developing some degree of athletic potential. Similarly, the right training and development program can help almost anyone cultivate some degree of leadership potential. In fact, it can help a few people develop extraordinary leadership abilities. Ignoring leadership development is foolish, but at many companies, short-term priorities eclipse the long-term thinking needed to develop a good leadership pipeline. This book's plain, sensible approach is simple without being simplistic. It is generally lucid and clear, and - somewhat to our surprise - it does not suffer from having three authors. If you are a leader or need to develop leaders for large corporations, this is a very useful volume. |

The Leadership Pipeline is an excellent resource that can be applied to various situations. For example if this principle were applied to a local church setting. In a church setting this could be used in order to train people for various positions within the congregation, for example, Sunday school teaching. If a person who demonstrates to be very knowledgeable in scripture, and desires to become involved in a church will move from what the book calls "managing self to managing others." This person may be put in charge of a small bible study or better yet training others to teach Sunday school class within the church setting. As time goes on this person may begin to train someone else to train others while he/she watches over the training that is done. This is stage two according to the book "from managing others to managing managers." A great deal of coaching comes into play here as well, as one person becomes the overseer of all of the Sunday school training of teachers. After this a person moves to the next passage, which is "From managing managers to functional manager." This person now begins to try to innovate the Sunday school curriculum with fresh and bright ideas. While at the same time communicating with the other trainers to make sure everything is going ok, and that his/her ideas are good and can be used. Not every step from the book needs to be implemented but the concept could work for any position in the church that requires some sort of training. |

Charan, Drotter and Noel present an effective model to enhance the leadership potential of the business world. Although most of their model is tailored to larger organizations, there are conseptual strengths that could be translated to smaller companies and churches. Values that are emphasized include accountability,coaching and retraining or redirecting managers that are not producing at necessary levels. Their goal is to keep good leaders within their respective organizations and avoid inefficiency, micromanagement and high turnover. |
