Leaders come in many varieties. Within your ranks, you have young achievers who show promise as high-potential future leaders. You have seasoned staffers who are leaders in key managerial roles, and may be on track to take their leadership even further. You have C-suite executives with organization-wide influence. You have leader-like individuals at all levels, regardless of title or followers. And, of course, you have the ultimate leader: your CEO or president.
So when you consider your organization's approach to leadership development, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Traditionally, top performers are promoted and expected to become good leaders—despite no formal leadership training. A top producer may understand sales, but that doesn't translate into understanding what a leader must do around articulating a vision, aligning people around that vision, executing strategy, fostering innovation and successful collaboration.
