Good Advice - Both in theory and practice

I picked this book up out after a friend asked me what I knew about how to manage a leadership change for a church that had a pastor who, after a long, successful tenure, was going to retire. The question smoldered for a while and I began to realize how many organizations this scenario would play out in over the next 20 years. The presidential election highlighted even more that the West is undergoing disruptive change and leadership will be critical. The book was well written and well informed in my opinion. It's a wealth of information for the relative cost and time to read it.
