I agree. The execs you refer to are all-too-common. I expect that "earlier grooming" would help solve a number of management development and, ultimately, succession problems. Hi Steve,

Thanks for your observations. I agree.

It's difficult to get execs in some companies to start giving people some P&L responsibility early on. "They're not ready yet" is the standard comment. That leads to people never being ready and then being confronted with a huge leap in responsibility when given a general management role. Some earlier, deliberate grooming would help out in a lot of organizations. Hi, Jim,
