According to Blanchard, you need to identify your high-performing individual contributors passionate about leadership to build your leadership talent pool from within. Emerging leaders must develop the skills following to transition from individual contributors to proactive, assertive leaders:
Blanchard sees that all employees can be leaders in their own right—individual contributors lead themselves, while others may also affect the development of projects and teams. Our emerging leader plans aim to instill individuals with a leadership mindset, provide them with the necessary skills to undertake their current duties and prepare them for a more senior leadership position. Learners take part in multiple research-backed approaches encompassing all aspects of life, not just work, heightening their leadership capacity.
Work with us to build communication and connection plans for your emerging leaders, linking the learning goals and objectives to your operational imperatives. Doing so will allow individual contributors to comprehend the value to them and their organization. Our individual contributor learning journeys are designed to integrate interaction points with a learner’s manager, which will incentivize them, keep them accountable, advise on skill application in their workplace setting, and urge new skills and desired behaviors.
