Who Are Your Leaders?
Leadership training is very prevalent.
However,
it
is
often
offered
to
only
a
very
small
portion
of
the
organizational
population
and
limited
to
those
bearing
titles
of
leadership.
Unfortunately
this
does
not
do
anything
to
enhance
the
leadership
contributions
of
the
rest
of
the
organization
or
help
it
prepare
adequately
to
meet
future
demands
for
executive
leaders.
Leaders exist everywhere and require the
same
cultivation
as
those
in
top
positions.
In
most
any
working
environment,
natural
leaders
emerge.
They
possess
different
levels
of
influence
and
that
influence
grows
if
nurtured
and
managed.
Potential leaders are found in:
- Every corner of the organization
- Obvious talent
- Suppressed talent
In addition to the development of the leadership
skills
that
make
the
company
work
better
in
the
present,
thought
must
also
go
to
future
executive
leaders.
Are
the
best
candidates
the
most
obvious?
A
search
into
the
hidden
talents
within
the
organization
followed
by
proper
guidance
and
training
establishes
an
adequate
resource
pool
to
select
from.
Executive leaders rising from within
possess:
- History with the company
- Knowledge about the organization
- Support system already in place
- Appreciation for many sectors of the organization
