Newspaper are filled with reports of highly paid CEOs who are pressured to hand in their resignation, fired by their disgruntled board of directors, or interfered with by a retired CEO who won't go away.

Written by Frederick Wackerle - one of the foremost executive consultants - The Right CEO identifies the fatal flaws in the current CEO selection process and offers a plan for remedying it. He offers solid suggestions for finding and selecting a CEO successor who is right for an organization.
