The Leaders Within: Engagement, Leadership Development, and Succession Planning presents an integrated model for creating an organizational infrastructure in which leadership development acts as a funnel for succession planning. When they follow this guidance, readers can enhance their organization's learning, leadership, and longevity. The authors draw on their real-world experience in a large health system to define the three unique roles in creating a successful leadership development and succession planning program: the Visionary, who helps the organization and its employees see their future potential; the Architect, who oversees the actual implementation of the program; and the Board Advocate, who secures the governing boards support for the process. Readers will recognize which role they personally play and gain a deeper understanding of how their organization can embed leadership development and succession planning in its DNA.

Paal Oiestad's credit card was stolen in 2008 in Rome, and over Nok 50,000 taken. The PIN was not written down, because it had been committed to memory. The bank claimed, without any evidence, that he was grossly negligent by keeping the PIN with the card. The Norwegian Complaints Board and the District Court agreed with the bank. Mr Oiestad was labelled a liar. While waiting for the appeal hearing, the bank wrote to him in June 2012, admitting it was wrong.
