Now or Later. When is the Best Time for CEOs to Develop their Leaders?
<p>This has been a hot topic lately in the conversations I am having with CEOs, and People and Culture executives. When is the best time to develop your leaders?</p>
<p>Based on my experience, at the earliest opportunity and every day from that point on. As soon as you introduce people into your organisation, they should become part of your leadership development strategy so that you are creating a continuous leadership talent pipeline. One that extends throughout your organisation.</p>
<p>Your leaders will come from all parts of your organisation. They will not only be the people who initially stand out as future leaders.</p>
<p>It is important to recognise that there is no perfect time to undertake leadership development. It should be an ongoing and everyday occurrence, as well as having strategic programmes that are designed to uplift specific areas of leadership, or specific cohorts of leadership in your organisation. The thing is, you never know when you are going to need to tap into your leadership talent pipeline. So, be ready.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>‘The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them.’</strong></p>
<p><em>~ John Maxwell</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The research shows us that the majority of organisations worldwide believe that you should have a deep leadership talent pipeline and that you should proactively be developing leaders at all levels. The truth of the matter is that only about 11% of organisations actively develop their leadership capability, which means you have potential for an enormous leadership performance gap. This is a risk.</p>
<p>Think about this. When you need a person to step up to the next level of leadership, what happens if you do not have anyone at all? Or perhaps you do have someone, yet they are not ready? It is incredibly difficult to be successful.</p>
