You want to give your young leaders first-hand experience in many different roles throughout your company. Say recent graduate Ben shows poise, intelligence and a desire to move into senior management. You’ll want to rotate Ben through different jobs to expose him to all aspects of the company, as well as push him past his comfort zone. If Ben is a numbers guy, this may mean a stint in marketing. If he’s a super people-oriented HR manager, some time in accounting or supply chain may be the ticket. Along the way, he’ll gain exposure to different divisions and gain new expertise and an overall understanding of the company in a real-time environment. Stretch assignments are growth-oriented exercises.
