The author focuses on specific areas such as:

-Basic issues of leadership succession

-patterns of succession management and their implications

-successful succession practices from around the world

′Business organizations have long understood the value of succession planning to ensure leadership development and capacity building. Dean Fink′s concept that school districts should build a ′reservoir′ of prepared and available leaders by creating optional paths for teacher leaders is a critical consideration for all school districts as we experience the ever-narrowing administrator pipeline′ - Donna Wright, Assistant SuperintendentKnox County Schools′Dean Fink has managed, in this book, to take the complexities of succession planning and make them both visible and accessible. He takes us far beyond the numbers into the real issues of life style, accountability demands, overload and distractions from instructional leadership and situates these issues, not in the present, but in the future that is looming. His vivid examples of ways in which succession planning happens (or doesn′t happen) and of trajectories of changes in leadership in genuine contexts fraught with political and relational issues, take the reader deep into the fabric of schools and districts as they anticipate and negotiate the real world of educational change in a landscape where local leadership must constantly be renewed′ - Lorna Earl, DirectorAporia Consulting Ltd
