- Do you know who the people are who will deliver what your organisation needs in five, 10 or even 20 years?
- It is engaged people who are more likely to stay with an organisation – whether they are from Generation Y, X or Z.
- The challenge for HR professionals is identifying and developing individuals who recognise that engagement is one of the biggest drivers for the success of their business.
Andy Lowe provides an exploration of the kind of qualities HR need to cultivate to harvest a crop of great leaders of the future.
When it comes to leadership, there are so many questions to be answered. Test yourself: what criteria do you use to decide how to you invest in tomorrow’s leaders? Do you know who the people are who will deliver what your organisation needs in five, 10 or even 20 years? How do you predict what kind of skill sets and attitudes your leaders will need to meet a constantly shifting set of business priorities? How do you achieve that on reduced budgets?
One constant that is likely to remain throughout the shifting sands of time is the need for leaders to keep their teams and employees engaged. Over the last five years, there has been a growing base of research to prove the case that engagement does have a measurable impact on productivity. Engage your employees and your organisation is sure to prosper; fail to engage them and it is likely to languish.
