Recent data on the gap in generational leadership indicates that we cannot develop our High Potential Leaders rapidly enough in this transformational environment. This message is dedicated to Senior Leaders about how to take action, so High Potential Leaders have strategic opportunities to thrive and grow in your organization.

For our Senior Leaders, how to provide what HiPo’s are really seeking:
Access: How can you include HiPo’s in next level decision making that advances critical thinking skills essential to advancement?

Exposure: How can you create skip level presentation opportunities related to projects or role responsibilities where HiPo’s shine and give them enough guidance to show up well and develop the confidence and enterprise thinking needed at the next level?

Advocacy: How can you introduce HiPo’s into your network, including: modeling the way by expanding their network and mentoring them to build vital strategic relationships needed at the next level?

Community: How are you cultivating a greater sense of belonging and connectedness by introducing this leader to your social community including: boards, clubs, associations and causes that you support?

There are so many ways you can encourage the rapid, strategic growth of your High Potential Leaders, we hope these questions support you to retain and grow your top talent.

Your role as a model, mentor, and mobilizer matters most. They will get there with or without you; time is of the essence!
