How to Identify and Support Potential Leaders in Your Team

The People Leaders Podcast

One of the biggest mistakes we see in the leadership field is promoting someone above their natural level of leadership.
For example, someone who is an outstanding performer on your sales team, might not necessarily excel as a sales manager. Yet many organisations promote based on technical performance rather than their people leadership potential.
This shows up in the stats, with 60% of new leaders evaluated as underperfomers in their new leadership role.
To make matters worse, often new leaders are thrust into their role without the support they need to perform at their best.
In this episode, we share five signs to look for when looking for leadership potential in your team, the necessary people leadership and performance skills to look out for, and how you can best support your new leaders to maximise the chances of success.
It’s a short episode but it has lots of value packed in it, so be sure to have a notepad handy.
