The Leadership Gap

Leadership “remains the No. 1 talent issue facing organizations around the world,” with 86% of respondents to the survey rating it “urgent” or “important.” However, only 13% say they do an excellent job of developing leaders at all levels means there is an enormous “readiness gap.”\n\nWhere should organizations begin?\n

\n
• Engaging top executives to develop leadership strategy and actively govern leadership development.

\n

• Aligning leadership strategies and development with evolving business goals.

\n

• Focusing on three aspects of developing leaders – developing leaders at all levels, developing global leaders locally and developing a succession mindset

\n

• Implementing an effective – and unique – leadership program.

\n

\nSenior leaders should create a culture that broadens the opportunity for leaders to develop in new ways.  This means putting potential leaders in positions that stretch them beyond their current skill sets, and continuously coaching and supporting leaders so they can build their capabilities as rapidly as possible.\n\nJ9 Leading Solutions specializes in helping organizations develop leadership talent.  For more information please contact janine@j9leadingsolutions.com.
