Building on the example of Warren Buffett’s announcement of a likely successor, Gianpiero Petriglieri of INSEAD explains that there are better ways to prepare talented employees for leadership positions than ‘shaping’ them to fit in the mould of current leaders' ideas of what good leaders should be like.

The article is supported by comments from Darryl Eales.
