Bridging the leadership talent gap for 2025
Who’s next after you?
The chaos has you spinning. You know there’s a problem with your 2025 leadership bench. However, you’re unsure how to solve it.
Here’s the critical issue.
Your company has a leadership talent gap, and time’s ticking away to build the leadership bench you need for 2025.
Why leadership development planning matters
Often, we move so quickly that we don’t stop to consider when and how to implement our leadership succession plan. Too often, we assume our best employees will want to stay with us and that they can learn everything they need to know on the fly—but that rarely happens.
That could happen. Until it doesn’t.
It’s time to get your next, best leadership bench in gear.
So, who’s next, after you?
You need a plan, along with a roadmap to nurture your future leaders. It’s time to break out the whiteboard and identify what you need for a successful 2025 leadership bench.
It’s time to walk the walk.
Ask 3 questions
1. Does your company culture truly support leadership development?
If not, the risk is huge.
When top management invests in its leaders up front, it makes a difference. Your employees can see it- and feel it. If you want your best performers and rising stars to stay, invest in their professional development now.
2. Who needs development?
Consider what leaders you need now and who can help with strategic changes. Remember to always think two positions down the line.
3. What leadership competencies are critical?
Ask yourself what your best leaders look like. Then, assess what you have in place- or what you need.
