Facing the great opportunity (and potential challenge) of nurturing young leaders in your work? Here’s the Positive Side
Facing the great opportunity (and potential challenge) of nurturing young leaders in your work? It takes time and money, but remember these immediate, short term benefits such as –
Having a built-in system for instilling the values and leadership principles that are important to you.
Building relationships in classes to enhance functional collaboration and break down silos.
Gaining better trained leaders at every level.
Creating higher morale and better retention among top performers.
Long term benefits are even more strategic because research shows that hiring from within is the way to go especially at higher levels. Developing your own pool of leaders from which to choose managers, directors and executives reduces your risks in several ways –
You’re maximizing “the known” and minimizing the “unknown” of hiring. You know these folks and have seen them perform under stress.
They already know you and their working environment such as values and expectations and history.
Do you have any special leadership development suggestions for young leaders? Please share them here – thank you

On This Day in Leadership History for October 23, 2016
On this day in leadership history in 1915, approximately 25,000 women demanded the right to vote with a march in New York City, NY. It would be 5 years later until the 19th Amendment was ratified giving women the right to vote.
What’s the leadership lesson? If someone has fought to give you the right to vote then use the gift that you’ve been given. Lead by example and cast your ballot!
