Challenge: Leadership Shortages
We lack qualified candidates to fill leadership openings at all levels, and we will fall further behind as the company pursues its growth strategy; there are not enough leaders in the pipeline.
Learning & Development Implications
Timing of Need
Affected Populations
1. We need a succession management system that works for executive and middle management positions
Now and future
Target populations at Director level and up
2. We need a systematic, multifaceted Leadership Learning & Development System to prepare leaders at all levels with the necessary:
Leadership skills
Functional management skills
Knowledge of the business
Financial business acumen
First-line supervisors through executives
Business Value/Stakes:
Business performance is suffering today because of poorly prepared leaders, especially at front-line levels and lower middle management. This could be worth several % in top-line sales and several % in expenses; $ hundreds of millions.
Our growth strategy will be in jeopardy if we can not fill leadership positions with qualified people.
