Leadership Talent Management

Increasing performance by developing your key leaders and their leadership

There is a huge amount of research and literature which confirms that Leadership is central to the culture and results of all kinds in organisations. Enhancing leadership is the critical element to improving efficiency, morale, customer service and, ultimately, performance. Strong leadership has a multiplier effect: Good leaders develop and grow good leaders

Teams led by good leaders outperform those run by poor leaders and those high performing individuals will either go on to make an ever greater difference in your organisation as they take on bigger and bigger roles or they will leave and do the same thing for someone else.

But who are the best leaders in your organisation? How do you know? Is there even agreement on what leadership means?

What about the main body of your managers? Most of them won’t be high flyers but will nonetheless be central to keeping the organisation going. How do you develop their leadership skills and keep them motivated without promoting them beyond their ability?

Leadership Talent Management - what we do

We can help you create a description of what great leaders do in your organisation. This will use a combination of best practice from leading organisations and leading edge thinking from the academic world. It will also build in the crucial leadership characteristics in your organisation, industry and situation.

Once this is in place and agreed we can help you use it to:

Create an appetite in your leaders to take their own development seriously.
Create clear descriptions of great leadership for your leaders.
Develop your leaders ability to engage and develop their people.
Assess your leaders’ capabilities for deployment or development.
Improve your recruitment process to ensure that you are recruiting the best new talent.
Create development programmes to accelerate leadership development.

Leadership Talent Management - how?

Although the approach is tailored to each organisation it has three phases.

We talk to leaders, frontline staff, customers and suppliers of your organisation to create a clear understanding of your leadership needs and priorities.
We create, in partnership with you, a description of great leadership in your organisation using the findings of our research and external best practice.
We agree and communicate the framework to everyone in the organisation who has a responsibility for recruiting, managing, developing and deploying leaders.
We work with you to use the new framework to assess and improve your leaders’ capability and to provide activities and resources to support that development.

Clearly, the approach to this depends on the size and complexity of the organisation and the detail is co-created to meet exactly the needs of each client.
