Management succession is seen as one of the most important issues facing employers,
profit and nonprofit, in the next five years by Chief Executive Officers, Executive
Directors and governing boards. The shortage of talent at the executive and
management levels is being called a crisis by some human resource executives.
The strength and caliber of leadership is the foundation of any organization's
future and that same future depends on high performing leadership talent and
strategies for proactive and ongoing leadership development to build and sustain
a real competitive advantage. Ensuring a flow of qualified managers and leaders
enhances not only competitive but the strategic advantages of your organization.
As an organization faced with one or many future key position transitions,
there are many issues you must be prepared for and knowledgeable on:
Does your organization have the resources, skills and systems in
place to identify and develop the talent needed for today and for the future?
Do
you know who the high potentials are in your organization? How do you identify
this talent to ensure that you have what is needed to handle the current
challenges? What about the necessary skills to handle the challenges not
even known that will be present in the future?
Have you eliminated distortion
from your talent pool selection process to ensure you are accurately assessing
potential promotable candidates?
Do you have a plan in place to help your
high potential talent realize their career plans and retain them within the
organization?
How will you ensure a focused and systematic approach to
accelerating the development of individuals with verified advancement potential?
