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 becoming a high impact leader, keeping top executives engaged in your high potential program, top companies for culture and values, and determining whether you are building a program or a culture.
From Martin Gargiulo: Becoming a High Impact Leader
“To change organisations, leaders need to better understand their environment, distribute leadership to their teams and improve their self-awareness.”
From Steve Towers: How to Keep Top Executives Engaged in Your High Potential Program
“It’s critical to keep top executives engaged in the high potential development process. In my previous blog, I talked about the value of their input in the early stages – to align the development priorities with the business strategies and goals – and in rolling the program out to the enterprise where the strong visible backing of company leaders is essential to building support and engagement.”
From Glassdoor: Top Companies for Culture and Values
“Want to work for a company where employees are satisfied with the culture and values? Glassdoor has announced its report of the Top 25 Companies for Culture & Values, based on workplace insights shared by the people who know companies best — the employees. The following companies stand out for high culture & values ratings and insightful reviews.”
Wally’s Comment: Note how many companies on this list are in industries we don’t normally associate with places where it’s great to work.
From Margaret-Ann Cole: Are You Building a Program or a Culture?
“Research tells us that career development is a primary driver of talent recruitment as well as employee engagement and retention.”
