Succession Management
Leadership Talent helps organisations to put in place a framework to ensure that employees with high potential for management roles get the support needed to ensure a successful transition to the next level should opportunities occur.
Leadership Talent bases its approach on the latest thinking and research in talent-, succession- and leadership development. The identification and development of talent are crucial for the sustainability of all organisations. Research1 has found that workers tend to be more engaged when given opportunities for development, growth, and career progression (1 Career Management Today, 2016).
Generally, organisations’ culture is mainly vertical, is driven by vacancies, and features little cross-functional or cross-silo movement. In these organisations, lateral moves occur on an as-needed basis, and they are driven more by dissatisfaction than an opportunity (Corporate Executive Board, 2015). With flatter structures, organisations can no longer support promotion-based career cultures. A growth-based career culture, in comparison, focuses on employees building and growing their capabilities through planned lateral and vertical moves across silos and functions. These moves are based on growth opportunities, and business needs2.
