Reviews
'The ideas and suggestions that I heard John Ward proffer during a seminar, and then later express with Craig Aronoff in Preparing Successors for Leadership channeled our thinking about successors and succession in our third generation and soon-to-be second generation companies into exactly the right directions. Now, our succession plans in both companies are moving smoothly ahead; one is complete and one is in progress. Without the inspirational influence provided by John and Craig it is certain that we would not have carried out our succession planning half as well as we have.' - Barton S. Mitchell, E. Stewart Mitchell, Inc., Baltimore, MD and Superior Paving Corp., Gainesville, VA
