Creating Pathways to Leadership …isn’t only about your emerging leaders – Leadership Insights from Liddell Consulting

Creating a pathway to leadership prepares your first-level managers and emerging leaders for achieving lasting results. What mentors, opportunities or degrees got you to where you are?

You recognize the people within your organization who have risen to the top of where they currently are, and you can see a future for them. Keeping them challenged and engaged (and keeping their eyes from wandering) doesn’t only have to do with job title or responsibilities.

Emerging leaders are an investment in the future of your company. All the work and vision you have put into your strategic direction should include next phase leadership and succession planning. Teaching your emerging leaders how to succeed helps make that happen.

Most leaders learned style and methods for managing, directing and inspiring on the fly, and not all mentors they learned it from were good examples.

Yes, an excellent leader has innate instincts and personality traits, but much can be learned – starting with basic next-level skills.

• Creating greater ownership for achieving results
• Transitioning from individual contributor to leading others
• Running your business, not letting your business run you
• Strengthening business relationships to achieve positive outcomes
• Managing and leading conflict effectively

By targeting leaders at different levels of your organization from executive leadership to employees, you will build a strong culture of transparency, communication, trust, accountability, and engagement.

Leadership and Learning – Office Hours

Friday July 17th @10am ET

Liddell Consulting Monthly Office Hours touches on timely leadership challenges and solutions.

WHY COMPANIES NEED STRONG TOP-TO-BOTTOM LEADERSHIP

This month we are talking about why companies need strong leadership through out their organization. Bring your stories, ideas, questions around these key ideas:

1. Leaders create the workplace culture which sets the standard for organizational performance. A healthy culture comes from the right beliefs, attitudes, and practices (a.k.a. behaviors) from all leaders in the business
2. Strength in leadership at the top is critical but business scalability is threatened if mid and front-line leaders don’t have the right skills
3. The most successful companies define clear leadership competency models at all levels and provide training and development to increase core leadership capability
4. Without core leadership capability organizational succession planning (critical for the long term success of all businesses) becomes very difficult
