Leadership development Securing the future
"At higher levels of an organization's ability to adapt, make decisions quickly in situations of great uncertainty, and browse through wrenching change is essential. But at a time when the need for superior talent is increasing, large companies in the U.S. difficult to attract and retain good. Executives and experts point to severe and worsening shortage of people needed to operate and manage critical functions division, let alone lead companies. All's well known that the key organizational positions beg languishing business objectives and compensation skyrocket packages. "Elizabeth Salas et al, McKinsey & Company, The War for Talent
In a recent interview, Dr. Jay Conger states, "Organizations business are not designed to be the ideal training ground for leadership development. They are the ideal training ground for the implementation of an existing business model and if [the business model is] right, you need are managers. The problem is that every few years that the business model is under attack, and when that happens, you needs leaders. Now the problem is that it does not develop, so you get blown out of water. "(" Why Chief Executives Fail " Management May 2003, Today)
As faithful readers know, I had the pleasure and honor to meet some of the world's greatest leaders and gurus leadership Sir Richard Branson, General Tommy Franks, and Captain Mike Abrashoff Dr. Warren Bennis, Henry Mintzberg, Tom Peters, and, more recently, Dr. Jay Conger. Thanks our work coupled Inc., to help support the programs of this village famous for the design and development of guides to the participants and the facilitator that many customers use to transform a 90-minute real learning and growth opportunities.
I recently had the opportunity to meet Dr. Jay Conger to discuss the issue of leadership development and succession planning. Mr. Conger has found that companies that have managed to identify and develop leadership skills to address each of the following key elements:
• Sponsorship – the active personal involvement and regularly at the level high.
• Choice – the ability of the organization's needs, avoid models complex skills, recognize and discuss things that derail a leader potential.
• Consultants – objectively measuring performance and subjective results.
• Participants – personal commitment and committed leadership potential, resulting in greater self-direction and the loyalty of the organization.
• development of links – stretch targets to help and a multitude of tasks, participants are in development – not only identified – property of a deliberate and planned.
• Monitoring – Measuring the effectiveness of the leader – and leadership selection and development process – to ensure continuous improvement in the development of leading banks.
In his book, grow their business leaders: How Great organizations use succession management to sustain competitive advantage, Mr. Conger describes the characteristics companies that are winning the war for talent through its development of leadership. These features include:
First, systems most effective are simple and easy to use. All participants – not just those that implement the systems, but the candidates as well – have easy access to them. The data is secure, but open to those in need. The winning systems are bureaucratic, simple process. As part of this simplicity, there is a unified approach to management succession to ensure consistency and maintain objectivity in the management of succession between the different business units, organizational levels and geographic areas.
Second, the best systems focus on development rather than simply concentrating or replacement oriented. system processes are much more concerned by the continued growth and employee development for a final job. Introduce discipline in the organization who constantly reminds everyone that the development of leadership and retention of talent are critical priorities and responsibility of each manager. The system becomes a dynamic vehicle for managers and leaders to reflect on the progress of his talent and opportunities they need genuine development.
Third, highly effective systems always actively involve at the top of the organization. The CEO and executive team have committed sponsors and champions a more active role in the determination of talent and the "next steps "to ensure the maximum development of their talents. effective succession management is seen as a strategic and vital for executives to attract and retain most talented leaders.
succession systems best fourth place, the practice is effective in identifying talent gaps and identify positions major axis. Highlight existing and emerging needs which are experiencing a potential shortage of talent within the company. Positions are concentrated heavily in central a limited set of jobs that are critical to the overall success of the organization. These positions and those who meet the merit and receive regular care and intensive. The best systems also identify the best job for development and if there are enough of these shortcomings o.
Fifth, Succession planning still does the job of monitoring the process of succession, which allows the company to ensure that good people are moving in the right places at the right time and that deficiencies are identified early. The best systems incorporate frequent checkpoints throughout the year. These positions control monitor, which is where and when the person should go ahead. A control point function is built into the system to identify a problem before it a problem! succession management is so important that the best professionals do not overlook this feature, even for a quarter.
Finally, the most powerful systems are built around the continuous reinvention. One of the clearest ideas of our research is that effective succession management is a journey not a destination. Best practice companies have in their early efforts to manage the succession. Similarly, none have rested on their laurels and that the failure of your business process. They continually refine and adjust their systems as they receive feedback from line managers and participants, follow-up technology, and learn from other leading organizations. To avoid the ever present danger of becoming bureaucratic and mechanical systems therefore incorporate best practices in an active dialogue and debate about the talent and succession process. There are ongoing "conversations" about what is needed for the future of each candidate who should be where and when. Discussions are under way by the guards and designers in the planning process and how its use can be improved.
