Leadership development may be the most important thing any company does. That’s why, every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover leadership development to find the very best leadership development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to posts about deciding if someone is ready for promotion, the importance of leadership development, the importance of adapting amidst complexity, and assessing the quality of your feedback.
From Jennifer V. Miller: Is your star player ready for a promotion?
“If you’re lucky enough to have a team with top performers, you know that eventually some of them will move on to larger roles in the organization. Do you know which ones are promotable?”
From BDaily News: The importance of Leadership Development in your organisation
“In a world where knowledge is expanding at such a rapid rate and innovation is prominent across industries, organisations consistently have to deal with and respond to changes in the direction and foundation of their organisational goals. Whilst change provides exciting prospects, it also unearths new challenges for today’s leaders who continually need to flex and adapt in order to respond positively to new territories and uncertain circumstances.”
From Fabiaan Van Vrekhem: Six Levels of Leadership
“While organizations could previously expand their market position over time, they now have to operate in a context in which changes occur at constantly increasing rates. Tomorrow is different from yesterday. Disruptive business models shake entire sectors to their very foundations. The network economy, in which nearly everything is available to nearly everyone, imposes a new requirement on leaders. This new requirement is at the heart of leadership. It has to do with change, agility, problem-solving ability, the awareness needed to be able to adapt to an increasing complexity. And it has to complement the other qualities that we traditionally look for in leaders: knowledge and experience, interpersonal skills, personality and values.”
From Beth Armknecht Miller: ‘What Did You Say?’ Is Your Employee Feedback Getting Through?
“As a business owner and leader, you likely give others feedback about adjusting their performance and behavior all the time. But, is it working?”
