Key Competencies In Demand

What are the most lacking competencies in high-potential leaders today?

Why you need to identify them now. As you look down in the organization at the next generation of leadership talent (the ones who are most likely to fill executive level positions in the 3-5 years), what capabilities, skills, knowledge, attitudes, and competencies are most lacking? In a 2018 survey, 75% of organizations reported that high potentials had been formally identified. But that dropped sharply in 2021 to just 41%.

This significant drop is evident that the next generation of leaders may lack critical capabilities, skills, knowledge, attitudes, and competencies.
