Empower Leaders

Build and hold your leaders to the modern workforce’s higher standards and they will empower your talent to do the same.

The digitization and globalization of the workforce, increased social responsibilities, and higher expectations from stakeholders and customers necessitate the perpetual evolution of organizations. Companies need to have capable, adaptive leaders at the helm to navigate these and other challenges presented by the disruption of their industry.

But identifying leaders who can navigate these complexities—and drive their teams to do the same—can feel nearly impossible. Many C-suite leaders are worried that their mid-level managers aren’t prepared to lead a new generation of talent.

Successful organizations realize that you can’t simply find these leaders, you must make them.

Develop a Talent Bench of Diverse, Adaptive Leaders

Not everyone is a natural-born leader. The majority of productive managers are instead developed by their companies through leadership development programs.

To cultivate a compelling leadership pipeline, today’s most effective companies:

Support Leaders’ Short-and-Long-Term Goals

When leaders see career development opportunities at their organization, employees are more likely to be retained. Keystone Partners’ career development programs ensure leaders can ideate and achieve their goals within your organization.

Plan for Leadership Succession

Recruiting a new employee costs companies an average of $4,700 and upwards of five figures for senior employees. Identifying and supporting future leaders avoids the expenses of recruitment and ensures a smooth transition.

Culturally Onboard New Leaders

Leaders in new positions often indicate that a lack of understanding of their organization’s norms and culture prevents their success. Keystone Partners Onboarding Coaching helps new leaders efficiently integrate into your company’s culture to accelerate and maximize their effectiveness.

Understand and Address Leadership Gaps

Human resources leaders need to build their leadership bench. A deep understanding of your talent pipeline allows you to anticipate future needs, develop new leaders, and quickly promote advancements when the time comes.

Invest in Diverse Leadership

The next generation of talent is more engaged with their organization when it’s inclusive. Representing diversity in leadership is integral for instilling values of inclusivity across your company.

FAQs

Can leadership skills be taught and learned?

What is the future of leadership development?

In the future, leadership development will focus more on soft skills, such as cultivating a safe environment where team members feel comfortable expressing their opinions and communication flows freely. This kind of team environment leads to a 50% increase in productivity.
