According to the President of a Children's Hospital Foundation, "This book should be given to every incoming CEO or board chair engaged in the succession planning process. It is a quick and comprehensive read that offers transformative insights and reflects the expertise James has developed over his career. Every word reflects his scope and depth of knowledge of the subject. It is a must-read guide on how to do right."

The Chief Human Resource Officer of a $50 million nonprofit organization wrote: “One of the most significant undertakings of a board is the employment of a CEO. Abruzzo is spot-on with his points about an employment contract. Ambiguity leads to translation of intent after the fact. I strongly endorse James’ suggestions as they remove the advantage to either employee or employer. A clear, fair understanding between all parties highlights the issuesthat tend to be important to all.” Learn more about James Abruzzo at www.jamesabruzzo.net
