[Slideshare] Cracking The 'High Potential Employee' Code.
It is often said that the right people are essential to an organisation.
The question then becomes, how do you identify and develop people with the ability, skills, aspiration, and potential to rise to and succeed in higher, critical positions?
How do you know which of your employees can be considered ‘high potential’ and ready for the next step, within the context of your organisation?
One of the first mistakes leaders make is equating and assuming that current high performers are also high potential employees. Research shows that employees who perform exceptionally well in their current tasks, may or may not necessarily be able to perform when tasked with greater responsibilities. The reality of today’s business world is that many organisations lack a strategic method to identify high potential employees effectively. Instead, they make decisions based on perceptions, management instincts, or ad-hoc observations from simplified performance management systems or appraisals.
With the increase in competition and the costs associated with hiring top performers, it is becoming more important for organisations to identify their high potential employees, develop and prepare them for higher roles.
As a leader, what specific steps do you take to identify talent with the highest potential? How do you measure potential? What plans do you take to develop these talent and prepare them for critical roles, at a more senior level, in your organisation?
