Potential leaders need access to the issues, and opportunity to develop and share their best ideas with senior management. While many organizations keep the issues behind closed doors, sharing thorny topics or areas of paradoxical choices can allow new ideas to surface and provide opportunities for emerging leaders to demonstrate their strategic capabilities. - Matt Norquist , Linkage, Inc.
2. Form Top Talent Peer Groups

Develop a group from different departments to collaborate on a long-term project that exposes them to strategic thinking, new connections, and diverse skill sets. Show that you're invested in their development. Encourage senior leadership to help the group gain momentum or hire a facilitator to add a fresh spin. -
