Long term success for any organization depends on succession efficacy. Too many organizations depend upon a leader whose eventual absence leaves a vacuum. Long term success depends upon the intentional development of leadership – the Leadership Continuum – that sequences leadership development through assessment, mentoring, and execution.
Leadership development with a mentor is akin to working in the gym with a personal trainer. The trainer specializes in identifying the areas needing work and then tailors a targeted training program. Similarly, a constructive mentor assesses the strengths of the protégé and personalizes the development to play to and enhance the recognized strengths. In both cases, the development goes farther, faster.
Quite common in companies and organizations alike, the desired performance misses the targeted outcomes. Identifying the organization’s “why” and the corresponding core values is only half of the equation. Linking members’ behaviors to core values builds coherency throughout the team, effectuating more productive performances. The tuning exercise produces the highest ROI for teams.
