- Abstract:
- Interviews with executives from 16 companies that were part of an Oliver Wyman best-practices study indicate what some of the best companies in the world are doing to quickly develop leaders who can step into mission-critical roles. The study looked at successful approaches to identifying and managing a pool of high-potential talent, specifically future P&L or general manager leaders; accelerating development and preparing leaders for bigger roles; and building leadership capabilities that will support growth and globalization strategies. A successful approach includes a thorough forecast of what type of talent will be needed in the future, an assessment of risks, a process for accelerating development, and methods to measure success in building a bench.
