How Deep is a CEOs Leadership Talent Pipeline? From Top to Bottom?

Do you have enough of them in your organisation? For today? For tomorrow? What I am hearing from leaders of organisations, large and small, is that they simply do not have enough leadership talent. They no longer have the depth of capable and experienced leaders. From executive leaders, through middle management and to emerging leaders, there is a lack of talent ready to step into available roles. Some of this is because leaders have left the workforce, moved into different organisations they feel more aligned with, or have downgraded their role in order to create the kind of life they want to live. They are making the decisions to reevaluate where work fits into their lives. We have all heard of quiet quitting, and the great resignation. The upshot is that organisations are left with a leadership gap. And insufficient leadership talent to fill the gap. I wonder why? Is it the way that we are approaching leadership, thinking about leadership, or developing leaders? We know there is a gap in the development of leaders and <a href="https://www.ddiworld.com/research/glf-trends" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">DDI research</a> shows that global leadership bench strength is on the decline. From a high in 2014 of 18% of HR leaders saying they have a strong bench to fill leadership roles, down to 14% in 2017 and only 11% in 2020. Based on recent history, I suggest this number has continued to fall. <a href="https://staceyashley.medium.com/how-deep-is-a-ceos-leadership-talent-pipeline-from-top-to-bottom-16a46117d42a">Visit Now</a>
