Introduction
Once reserved for the upper echelons of senior management, and often viewed as replacement planning should catastrophe strike, today's succession planning is being redefined. The discipline has broadened in both breadth and scope to become a central component of board-level strategy.

The second part of our look at the Career disappointers as outlined in Jane Downes new book The Career Book – Help for the Restless Realist IV.
THE ALTAR EGO
A man gets into a car. He puts the key in the ignition, but the car won’t start. “That’s strange”, he thinks to himself, “I put a fresh tank of holy water in only this morning.” Just then, a van drives by with the words CALL NOW emblazoned on its side. A sign! Closing his eyes, the man bows his head and prays: “O Infinite Cosmic Power, I gratefully accept Thy invitation and humbly call on Thee for a miracle. Please make this car move!” Nothing happens. After a few moments of mute perplexity, the man finally realises what is happening. “O Infinite Cosmic Power, I thank Thee for this message which Thou hast sent me from the Realms of Infinite and Pure Potentiality. I now realise it is Thy Will that I not drive this car. Thou wiltst miraculously get me to my destination some other way.” The man serenely gets out of the car, sits down on the pavement and waits. And waits. |

Backed by the Internationally renowned author Dr. Edward De Bono, let me introduce these to you. |
