CAREER PATHS "I like how Carter, Cook, and Dorsey have balanced the perspective and needs of the employee with the needs of the organization. They've provided a practical toolkit for practitioners, rooted in a strong conceptual model. I have looked at other sources on career paths in organizations, but this is the book I'd actually use to design a system." Steven D. Ashworth Ph.D, Manager, Human Resource Research & Analysis, Sempra Energy Utilities "If you are, like me, a consultant who helps organizations develop and utilize their talent toward maximum performance; or a business leader building a worldclass organization with limited financial resources; or a Human Resources manager whose Generation Y employees are anxious to get ahead - you need to read this book. It clearly defines the 'why' and 'how' of using career path models as the foundation for a comprehensive talent management process."
