The Leadership GAP- The Solution!

How to fix the Leadership Gap?

How Organizations Can Take Action on It Today

A research report conducted by the Centre for Creative Leadership found 5 steps that organizations can take to help bridge the leadership gap between current leadership talent and future leadership needs:

1. Perform a needs assessment: Identify the capabilities that managers need now and, in the future, to execute and sustain the organization’s strategy.

2. Create a leadership strategy: A clear understanding of the leadership behaviours and business goals allows executives to develop a leadership strategy.

3. Develop clear, specific goals and strategies for individual leadership development: Assess managers’ strengths and weaknesses as leaders against the core competencies identified in the needs assessment.

4. Create systems: When important competencies are found to be weak spots, targeted development initiatives can be put into place.

5. Evaluate: Build in systems for measuring how these efforts are paying off across the organization.

The sooner organizations understand the reality of their leadership gap, the quicker they can move to adapt by refocusing leadership development efforts and rethinking recruitment priorities.

To increase leadership capacity, strengthen the future leadership pipeline, and close the leadership gap, organizations need to take both a strategic and a tactical approach.
