Developing leadership in your business is an essential factor to ensure you can continue to grow and succeed. That's why we thought we'd share this great article by Julia Fabris McBride with you.
Julia is a certified coach, co-author of "When Everyone Leads," and Chief Leadership Development Officer at the Kansas Leadership Center, where more than 15,000 people worldwide have attended programs since 2007.
Her great piece called "Developing Leadership at All Levels: 7 Questions To Assess Potential", takes an exciting look at some of the critical questions you need to consider to help develop leadership within your organization, including:
- Is this person able to make multiple interpretations?
- Does this person ask curious questions?
- Can the candidate handle discomfort?
- Will this person act experimentally?
- Does this person seek coaching and support?
The Key to Developing Leaders
Julia's main takeaway:
"When you start seeing leadership as an activity rather than a position, you realize that leadership can be learned. Don't fall into the trap of saving your investment in leadership development for the few. Develop the many! Teach them the art of asking powerful questions. Develop their conflict mediation skills. Provide opportunities to practice designing smart experiments. Give your people the skills they need to see — and seize — their moments to lead."
