To prepare yourself for the dramatic workforce changes that are expected in the next decade, the first thing you should do is read this book. The second thing you should do is put Fernández-Aráoz's advice into practice immediately."

Review:
An extremely essential book
I consider this book one of the most important and helpful ones that has been written in the very wide and crowded topic of management. This book should turn into a timeless, must-read reference for many people all over the world: 1) It provides a thorough, solid and simple conceptual model for making people decisions; 2) It gives enough empirical and theoretical evidence to convincingly back up its recommendations; and 3) It is full of extremely practical advice to quickly improve the quality of decision making on a very crucial dimension of most organizations' performance. When I was reading it, I found myself revisiting many of the people decisions I had made, or I participated in, as an international consultant, as a private equity principal, as a business person and as, simply, a husband, a father and a friend. I only wished I would have read this book before.Password: gigapedia.org
