DETERMINING LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL

Powerful Insights to Winning at the Talent Game

This book aims to close the gap and enable people to understand vital criteria necessary to determine leadership potential.

We are experiencing a leadership crisis that derailing business success! We place too many leaders in roles that aren’t a fit. This mistake is a drag on financial results and fuels low morale, turnover, and absenteeism. Yet, we do it over and over, time after time.  Alternatively, organizations that effectively identify high-potential talent are likely to financially outperform those that do not do this work by a factor of 4.2 to 1, not to mention all the other positive impacts! Most organizations do not have an effective and consistent framework to help galvanize decision makers around leadership potential. Leadership potential is treated as an imprecise art and inconsistently applied.  The amount and type of variation that exists in how people think about determining leadership potential is both shocking and a major hindrance to having a pipeline of strong leaders.

It’s time to get rigorous about talent.

 We need to be better…and with the insights in this book, we can do better.  Insights from thought leader research, our own research, including a study with 50+ CEOs, are peppered throughout the book. Applying these insights and strategies from Determining Leadership Potential enables decision makers to be game changers for our business!
