Companies need high potential leaders (Hi-Pos) more than ever before to
help them adapt to today's tumultuous, digitally-driven business
environment. If you meet the Hi-Po criteria, you're in high demand - and
this book explains how to fast-track yourself.
Criteria for Hi-Pos are changing markedly. In the past, fast-track
leaders were tapped mainly because of their cognitive abilities,
analytical skills, imagination, thoroughness in finding solutions, and
even perfectionist tendencies. In the new climate, other attributes will
count more heavily: relationship skills, experience, judgment, abilities
to engage, motivate, and draw out the best performance in others,
strategic skills and even personal habits and behavior style. Above all,
companies see Hi-Pos as people who have the capacity to grow quickly and
step into new leadership roles competently. This book is a step-by-step
guide to becoming a high potential leader.
