A successful leadership development program starts with alignment to company strategy and understanding the leadership style needs. If you are the number 2 person in your organization or have a day-to-day close working relationship with the CEO you should have no problem with this.
Here are sever(7) quick steps that will lead you to business success:
- Develop a leadership style - that is identifying the type of work, complexity of the organization, and qualifications of the followers.
- Identify your leaders and up and comers - if you know your human capital you would not need someone to tell you who are the leaders
- Identify leadership gaps - yes you can do gap analysis all day long but if you understand the business you can see it in plain sight
- Develop succession plans - simple to do without all the bells and whistles of expensive on-line cloud computing or software. You can dumb this down if need be or ramp it up based on budget
- Develop career plans for the potential leaders
- Develop a leadership roadmap - there should be an end and time frame so the potentials will not walk away because of no action
- Develop a retention program
This process is simple or it can be complicated based on your organization. I can tell you from first hand experience if you have a leadership development program that goes no place you will see your human capital walk out the door, that includes your HR team. There can be a lot of hard work that goes into this and if there is no activity and just an exercise you have lost your credibility. So what do you think of that?
