We Focus On One Goal:
Our Client's Success
Leadership Development
While financial markets and investors are consumed with the credit crisis affecting global economies, employers must not lose sight of the looming talent crisis which might have far more significant long term negative consequences.

Here are some sobering numbers from recent surveys:

  • 50% of companies surveyed expect to lose half or more of their senior managers by 2010.
  • 15% reported that they expect to lose 75% or more of their senior managers in that time.
  • 80% report that leadership development is the talent management process most needing improvement.
The implications? Younger, less-experienced workers assuming leadership responsibilities earlier in their careers, often without the benefit of a veteran mentor to guide and help prevent costly "rookie" mistakes. Without strong leaders, companies will struggle to execute strategies in a fast-moving, global marketplace.

Attracting, developing and retaining leadership talent will define a new competitive battleground. Organizations that focus on creating a climate where leadership development is a strategic imperative will be the winners in this important battle for brains and experience.

Moreover, it is unwise to simply sit back and do nothing because senior managers are going to keep working and stay on the job. Whether its leaders, materials or other critical resources, it's always prudent to plan for unforeseen situations.

To help our clients meet this challenge, we offer the WrightOne Leadership Competency Assessment for new leaders. This assessment is designed to provide both the individual and the organization with critical information about the strength of the new manager's leadership capabilities. For an individual, a structured leadership assessment offers an opportunity to objectively evaluate capabilities and to receive feedback on performance. For the organization, this process provides an accurate, independent assessment of leadership competencies, a tool that will be invaluable to the organization's leadership development efforts. We can help individuals learn more about themselves -their values, their resources and their capabilities.
 
Organizations that establish leadership talent development as a core competency will enjoy a meaningful competitive advantage in the near-term and be better prepared to survive over the long-term.
