Overview:
‘High-potentials’ are employees who have the ability, commitment to your organisation, and motivation to rise to and succeed in more senior roles.
They are the future leadership pipeline, often have a disproportionate impact on the results; and are incredibly difficult to replace if they decide to leave in search of a better development opportunity.
This practical workshop focuses on the development of high-potentials by helping participants to understand the requirements for effective leadership, and how to make the most of their leadership potential.

•high performers who aspire to leadership roles and want a practical hands-on approach to achieving real results at work and taking charge of their future careers
