Drive Leadership Through A Culture Of Continuous Learning

Leadership development has greatly evolved and has paved the way for high-potential employees to claim one of the leadership positions in an organization. It doesn't come without any effort, though. The activities that accompany a business’s leadership development come with a variety of complexity, style of training, and of course, cost. To begin with the basics, when developing leaders, one should bear in mind the most prominent ways of development—mentoring and coaching.

It goes without saying that, in order to develop successful leadership programs, the quality of training has to be the finest as well as the level of support high-potentials receive throughout the process must be continuous [1]. These are some of the fundamental variables discussed by Baldwin and Ford, who have conducted captivating research on personnel psychology. It seems quite reasonable, however, as a statement. And why is that?

Simply, if you fail to produce quality training that enhances the talents and skills of your employees, you will be left with nothing when the time comes for them to fill in for a leadership position. Your high-potentials will bear skills gaps and little knowledge to support their talent-driven decisions. The same applies if there is a lack of support. Your high-potentials will undergo stress and will not be efficiently engaged in their development process. Needless to point out, an individual’s characteristics also do matter, so successful leadership development programs are tightly connected to this variable, too. For instance, some may be able to perform under pressure, while others cannot. You must protect your top talents from burning out without a serious reason.

Whenever an organization gives high-potentials the opportunity to turn into leaders, it initiates a whole motivational feeling among other employees, too. Other team members will immediately want to level up their performance and, consequently, this amplifies the business’s workforce overall. Thus, business goals are being achieved more victoriously. There is no need to keep wondering how to win in the leadership development "game."

You will also find out more insightful tips on how organizations can recognize their hidden talents and nurture them to achieve the best of their potential.

Organizations have been lately on a constant run to spot high-performing employees and talents. They are aware of the fruitful advantages it can bring to the business. It must be highlighted, though, that having just top-performing employees doesn’t mean they can fill in the shoes of a high-potential and become the next leaders. Only these few that bear the right skills, behavior, and dedication are the next worthy individuals for a leadership role. Yet, there's no need to worry anymore. The 3-facets basis in which leadership potential can be identified is being discussed in the eBook Life Cycle Of High-Potential Employees along with highly effective ways of how high-potential employees can be identified, prepared and transformed into a committed workforce.

Furthermore, a thing to consider is how you can retain top talent, as well as how to execute the right strategy—taking into account the necessary resources and costs. Sometimes the learning experiences top talents receive are not enough, so the right methodologies and eLearning assignments must be put into action in order to ensure your high-potentials are reaping all the benefits of leadership development training programs.
