The Selection and Development of Laboratory Executives

Let me summarize. Leaders are not born but made. There is a continuing need for executives and we, as executives, have not always insured that adequate successors are available when required. We can, however, describe our successors and provide for their selection and training to measure up to the desired standard. But these successors can be provided only by intent, not chance. A program of selected courses and rigorous job rotation will provide successors surpassing our abilities.
