Mærkelig nok gør mange virksomheder en meget større indsats for at nå deres regnskabsmæssige mål end for at udvælge de rigtige folk til de rigtige poster. Leadership pipeline-modellen hjælper virksomheder med at udvælge, udvikle og evaluere deres ledere på alle niveauer, så ledelseskraften ikke pludselig slipper op, fordi man ikke har forberedt sig i tide. Pipeline-modellen sørger desuden for, at alle ledere forstår, hvad der forventes af dem på de enkelte ledelsesniveauer. Leadership pipeline-modellen har ændret den måde, virksomheder over hele verden angriber personaleområdet på. Det gælder i det private erhvervsliv og i stigende grad også i det offentlige, hvor modellen i disse år spiller en vigtig rolle. Bogen viser systematisk og anvendelsesorienteret, hvordan alle organisationens enheder skal arbejde med på, at der til stadighed findes de nødvendige kompetencer i virksomheden.
