70: the new 50

70: The New 50SM is about Retirement ManagementSM—an answer to the challenge of the impending baby boomer exodus from the workplace. For years, organizations have been concerned about succession management and retention management, but few have tried to encourage select retirement-age employees to stay longer. Most companies viewed such a practice as a waste of time because of the strong economic incentive to retire provided by conventional defined benefit plans. But that viewpoint has changed for most of the organizations that don’t have defined benefit plans, and it’s changing quickly for many of those that do. Throughout this book, we provide organizations with a strategy to proactively manage retirements…so retirements won’t manage your organization. management, but few have tried to encourage select retirement-age employees to stay longer.

Grow Your Own Leaders®
By William C. Byham, Ph.D., Audrey Smith, Ph.D., and Matthew Paese, Ph.D.
Grow Your Own Leaders® is designed to help you understand and implement systems that will develop the high-potential people your organization needs to grow and prosper—and to do it at "Web speed." As most senior executives realize, organizations need more good leaders, and they need them now. Throughout this book, we describe what we believe are best practices in areas related to successful succession management. For virtually every practice, we could have reported that "some do it this way, and some do it the other way..." and let the reader choose. Instead, with a few exceptions, we have hammered a stake in the ground and detailed what our experience has shown to be the best practices out of the spectrum of possibilities.
