Develop your company leaders from within

Growing businesses need every employee to lead effectively from their respective positions in order to grow and remain financially viable. These same businesses often prefer to “promote from within”, yet few have any formal structure and process in place to effectively develop leaders for succession, even when current senior leaders are retiring within six months to five years.

Inside these growing organizations there are often bright, up-and-coming potential leaders who want to make a significant impact with their lives. Since work is where a majority of their lives are invested, and where tangible rewards can be realized, that is also where they want to grow their influence.  Businesses sometimes struggle to create a management culture that can leverage and inspire the multitude of unique talents necessary for innovation and sustained success.

Workforces across America are changing and encountering challenges they have never had before.  According to the SHRM Foundation, 35% of U.S. labor force participants will be age 50+ in 2022. This is up from 25% in 2002. 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day.  By 2050, the 65-and-older age group is expected to grow by 75 percent, while the 25-to-54 age group will grow by only 2 percent. Not only is the workforce aging, but the supply of younger workers is diminishing in comparison.
