Content: Assign A Mentor
Potential leaders come in every generational and diverse range. Organizations seem to think potential leaders need a boss. Potential leaders, and really leaders at all levels, should find mentors. Mentoring involves a care for a person that a boss to employee relationship only implies. Find mentoring program parameters and use this as an investment in your organization's powerful future. It's wise. - John O'Connor , Career Pro Inc.
7. Use Stretch Assignments
Leaders learn and grow when they are exposed to new perspectives and new assignments. Most organizations have high-profile and often short-term strategic projects. Assigning potential leader or high-potential leaders to these projects exposes them to new thinking and builds skills, and you get to assess their commitment and capabilities. -
