Assessing Potential
Selecting or promoting the right people for
a first-level leadership role and diagnosing
the development needs of incumbent leaders
requires different approaches depending
on the need. Identifying leadership
potential on the front line is a critical step
in a healthy, multi-level Leadership
Pipeline. Technical skills and past performance
are the “price of entry” to be considered
for a leadership role, but it’s not the
only criteria for a promotion decision.
