Great principles that could be extremely helpful to think through in regards to organizational structures and people development. A bit tricky to overlay with own context but once done could be extremely helpful roadmap for future

This is a must read for anyone who would like to grow on the management ladder.

It shows the necesary steps from becoming a leader from the first time to C-suite possition.

definitely alot of GE methodology (and matrices) built in here, but great insights in to the pitfalls that leaders at each level fall in to. they highlight the fact that just because someone is great in one function doesn't mean they'll be great at the next. i love the emphasis on leadership development and coaching. it's amazing how many companies expect people to sink or swim without giving them any resources to succeed. and think of all that potential talent that could be realized with some guidance and oversight.

Possibly the best leadership/management book I've read to date, The Leadership Pipeline provides a clear framework for thinking about the differences in management roles, from managing others to leading a function to lead a business or group of businesses.

Seminal work on leadership. Very dry, but not meant to be gripping, if you know what I mean. Great for leadership development professionals.

Kinda boring and repetitive, like most of the “office/corporate” books. It gives u an idea on how management in big companies work but being a part of that already makes me notice that this book is very simple and beginner level

This book has good advice in it but is a real snoozer.

Excelente livro! Leitura de muito valor para líderes, principalmente gestores de gestores. Leitura obrigatória para profissionais de RH! Livro excelente, porém poderia acabar na página 150, depois foi só encher linguiça

I found the potential signs of dysfunction at each leadership level particularly useful and will absolutely be referring back to these. I didn’t find the diagnostic tools and performance improvement chapters (ie. the second part of the book) as useful other than two good reminders (1) that while we are quick to insist people are accountable for their development, it is up to us to show them how to be accountable and (2) development and retention are closely linked as they are a tangible sign that organisations care for individual’s success. I was increasingly irritated by the use of exclusive language. Do the authors not realise women are leaders too?

Should have been an article.

I was in doubt if I should rate this one with 3 or 4 stars. From a content perspective, you will find nothing new. It is the same aspects of leadership that many other books have touched, almost common sense. However I personally find the way it was told powerful and maybe because of the career stage I am now, it was quite relevant to me. Like Getting To Yes, 7 Habits and many others, there is no magic, but I would add this book in must read list for anyone moving to a leadership role or transitioning between seniority levels. That is why I gave 4 stars.

A very valuable book for managers and leaders of all levels.

A great gift especially for manager of managers....since this gives amazing tools & tips to coach / mentor those reporting upto the manager of managers while also charting the future development path.

I am sure to be referring back to this book quite a few times in the near future.
One of those rare books that's both a theoretical treatise as well as a hands-on workbook : two in one
