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. - Maureen Metcalf , Metcalf & Associates, Inc
8. Combine Stretch Assignments With A Mentor
The best development combines action and reflection. Stretch assignments allow high-potential employees to do something for the first time, like managing a project or team. When paired with a mentor, they learn how a leader thinks and makes critical judgments. This approach of doing something new, while guided by a mentor, can develop leaders who are well-rounded and better prepared to make decisions. -
