The world today is working hard to fill a leadership void. Global Statistics show that 71% of the current leaders are not ready to lead their organizations into the future. The quick fix of promoting high performers doesn’t guarantee great leadership. Here is how you can intentionally groom leaders in your organization;

Networking

Create opportunities for networking. Followers like to disappear in the crowd. To just be like everyone else. Networking presents the challenge of being able to stand out confidently and knowing our craft. That is what leaders are cut out for.

On-going feedback

Sticking to the official once monthly or once quarterly performance review meeting is not enough. Build a culture of open on-going feedback. If something can be improved now, don’t wait for next week.

Time management

Every day will continue to have just 24 hours, not more, not less. However, the amount of what can be achieved in 24 hours expands or shrinks depending on one’s productivity. Help your future leaders by investing in products and training that will help them organize and maximize the time spent working each day. Leaders are a highly productive breed.

“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.” – Jack Welch

Organisations that intentionally grow leaders continue to dominate the market and excel. What can you do that would have the greatest impact on the leaders you want to groom? To build leaders for today and most importantly tomorrow.
