From Introduction: No one disputes it - people development is vital. Pick any topic - e-commerce, globalization, megamergers - and the need for new skills grows stronger.

Development is important for every position in the organization, especially executives. It's no longer the world of clear-cut career paths and a concrete set of knowledge. It is an ever-shifting, increasingly demanding, faster paced world in which knowledge is central.

The executive role is more demanding today than it was a decade ago. Executives need to display depth and breadth in more areas than their predecessors. Mindful, sustained development is the only way executives can acquire the skills they need to thrive in such an environment.
