So you want to focus on leadership development in your organization? Great! Select those with great potential, and a willingness to learn, and get them into a program. There are lots of open enrollment courses, or, if you have the budget, countless Executive MBA programs offered through institutions. That was easy. But was it effective?
If organizations are truly committed to developing great leaders, they must own their own internal leadership development process. This may include some selected pieces mentioned above, but to rely solely on external offerings is analogous to eating all of your meals in restaurants while professing to be committed to excellent nutritional habits. You must control what you consider to be critical, and that means taking ownership of the entire process.
Leadership development starts with a culture of setting goals, assessing performance, and coaching for success.
Through this process, high potentials are identified, and a career plan is put in place. There are many assessment tools to assist these leaders to understand their strengths and weaknesses as they embark on their journey of leadership. Then, the training begins. Internal classes populated with corporate colleagues give leaders a chance to hear and debate leadership principles with fellow current and future leaders. Concepts like empowerment, coaching, accountability, strategic planning, managing through change, and communication come to life when discussed and debated among the stakeholders within their organization.
