Leadership Development -
Fundamentals
Identifying, selecting and developing leaders
is the key human capital challenge for any
company.
On-boarding is successfully integrating a
new hire (especially a new/promoted leader)
into an organization or role.
Executives brought in from the outside are
twice as likely to fail as those promoted
internally (Ciampa & Watkins, 1999).

Succession Planning -
Fundamentals
Succession planning is the process
of preparing suitable employees to
replace key players.
May be for a specific position or to
create a pool of talent for the future.
Closely tied to a companys
leadership development efforts.

Competency Modeling -
Fundamentals
A competency is a characteristic or quality the
company wants the employee to manifest.
Competencies are generally identified for all
roles in an organization, although many
companies have leadership competency
models that cut across positions or functional
areas.
Can serve as the starting point/framework for
all of a companys HR/talent management
efforts.

Companies are continually searching for ways
to be more entrepreneurial, creative, and

This is a global and cross-industry
phenomenon.
