Succession Management: Identifying The High Potential Employee

Smart companies know that financial success is linked to leadership development and talent management. At Priority Health, HR professionals Deborah Phillips and Thea Reigler developed a program to go beyond leadership development. This session will provide specific examples of designing and creating development initiatives to ensure solid succession planning for all leadership levels of an organization. How do you go about identifying and assessing which of your employees should be groomed for leadership? What are you grooming people to do and does that match your future growth strategy? This session will give you examples of how their planned promotion process continually shapes leaders and keeps them on the path to success using such programs as Leadership Essentials and Leadership Mastery. You will see how they furthered their goal, creating a customized curriculum for the leadership team, while giving leaders critical feedback and quality time with CEO and other top executives. Their success speaks for itself in business growth, motivation and internal promotions.
