"Realizing the Full Potential of Rising Talent" -- March 14, 2006

Presented by Marieke van Dijk

A Quantitative Analysis of the Identification and Development of High-Potential Employees

As many of the world's leading organizations return to a focus on growth after an extended period of cost control, executives are faced with a perennial challenge--how to ensure the organization has the quantity and quality of talent that makes growth possible. The difficult challenge of identifying tomorrow's leaders today and ensuring they live up to expectations is exacerbated by the beginnings of a tightening labor market.

The challenge of developing rising talent centers on two fundamental questions:

What are possibilities for how organizations identify high-potential employees?
What development strategies are most effective at enhancing employee potential, thereby helping to ensure a strong pipeline of leaders and managers throughout the organization?

The Corporate Leadership Council worked with 11,000 employees and managers in 59 organizations across various industries worldwide to understand how to effectively identify and develop high-potential employees. Please join us on March 14th for a presentation and discussion of this cutting-edge research.
