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. - Carolyn Esposito , Talent Pathways, Inc.
9. Sponsor Employees For EMBA Programs
Offer high-potential employees access to academic executive development programs that can round out their skills and prepare them for new roles. Access to these programs will not only elevate their knowledge but fuel engagement and loyalty to the organization. - Barbara Safani , Career Solvers
10. Assign A POC To Each Business Priority
Selecting or asking for volunteers for POC (Point of Contact) assignments will be a huge win for the employee and the leader.
