While there are countless reasons why organizations fail, most lack a solid foundation on which they can grow and evolve into thriving, successful ventures. At MAP, we believe that foundation is an accountability system, driven and backed by accountability leadership, or leaders who “walk their talk.” Want to create a winning culture of accountability? Then you, the leader, must invest time, energy and other resources toward such a system for the benefit of your organization. Do this, and you’ll be more likely to get positive results, creating the ROI you both want and need to thrive.

In the rapidly evolving modern workplace, the ability to identify and cultivate talent within an organization is not just an advantage; it's a necessity.

Council Post: Building Future Leaders: Proactive Strategies For Talent Development Guiding promising employees into leadership roles requires a strategic approach—one that involves early identification, tailored development programs and continuous support.

While it’s fair to say that we, as executive leaders, believe everyone in our organization has the capacity for great growth and success, there are usually some shining stars among your hiring pool—those individuals who stand apart as high-potential employees, or what’s called “HiPos.”

These individuals are those who live and breathe your company’s vision, mission, values and goals. With HiPos, company culture is part of their DNA. They’re highly aligned to what’s vital, always motivated, productive and results-oriented, not just because they may believe in the organization or want to hit those marks, but because it’s simply who they are. A cut above high performers of your workforce, they aspire to be consistently excellent, capable and engaged. For HiPos, these traits are far more than hobbies—they’re habits.

How can you invest more in this type of talent?

Cookie-cutter coaching and professional development for employees can not only be ineffective, but can backfire, making your team distrust the “solutions” you try to implement. That said, customized professional development for staff will do the exact opposite, proving that when the solution is personalized to each unique team member, they can trust it. Over time, they will value it and gain appreciation for their growth. Even better, the growth mindset will forever be reinforced not just by the team member, but the workplace culture at large.

Supporting and retaining top talent is essential for any organization's success. One effective way to achieve this is by providing clear career pathways for your employees, which can encourage them to seek professional development within your organization rather than elsewhere.

There’s no question that a sense of complacency can set in to the C-Suite when business feels good, productivity is pumping, and results look strong and profitable. In an effort to maintain stability and harmony—or perhaps out of fear of losing control and what’s been achieved—leaders experiencing complacency within the upper ranks may hesitate to “rock the boat,” thinking “Why change? We’ve got a good thing going!”

Studies show that there’s immense value in leadership programs, not just value related to developing the leader but for the benefit of building up your people and your organization’s bottom line. Full disclaimer, this is not an advertisement for us. While MAP Consulting offers a very successful leadership program that’s helped 15,000 companies and 170,000 leaders worldwide since 1960, what we want to talk about here is the domino effect of leadership development, something that may light a fire, igniting you to create a new and consistent discipline that renews or give fresh life to your leadership excellence. If you already have a leadership development plan in place—but it’s been collecting dust on a shelf—let this be the inspiration to brush it off, review it for update needs, and put it to use today!

There’s no question as to the pressures that those of us in C-Suite Leadership face today. Whether you’re the CEO, CIO, CFO or some other member of top management at your organization, the expectations are high.

Among many things, you’re expected to drive growth and deliver results quickly, satisfy stakeholders’ needs, know the answers to tough questions—and be right. You’re expected to lead through crises and tough times with strategic smarts and emotional intelligence. You probably put in long hours, and the work-life balance can feel or easily become out of whack.

No doubt, these high-level positions can promise exciting career experiences, yet the pressure to perform can take its toll on your physical and mental health, not to mention your performance and productivity as a leader. Relentlessly striving to be your best, you can actually find yourself undermining your own potential—a scenario that feels almost like a trap. So, in a C-Suite leadership position, how can you lead, perform effectively and set yourself “free”?

The journey to becoming a Disciplined Leader starts with you, so making a commitment to contribute to your professional growth and development is essential. Yet surprisingly, a lot of people don’t make even small, easy efforts to invest in themselves. For instance, according to a study by the Jenkins Group, 42% of college graduates never read another book after graduation. What’s more, 80% of families had not read a single book in the year prior to the study, while 57% of new books purchased weren’t read to completion. I realize that many people are reading more online nowadays, but I point out these statistics because reading books is one of the fastest, easiest ways to enhance your intelligence and understanding.

When it comes to developing as a leader or addressing barriers around your business, there’s a really important question to right out of the gate.

The question may seem obvious. But here it is: Do you really WANT to grow?

It’s not a consideration to take lightly. Ever since we started delivering professional development solutions to our clients—as far back as 1960—we’ve lifted up leaders who really wanted to grow. And we’ve worked with those who thought they wanted to grow but, because they lacked something key to professional development, ultimately found it impossible.

What is that “something” big? In short, a growth mindset‚ which is all about being actively open to pushing comfort zones, doing better as a leader, and truly believing in your potential.

Today we want to share with you some thoughts about something big that, as a leadership development firm that’s been coaching clients and organizations since 1960, we’ve found to be true.

Some of the very best leaders—not just the worst—often struggle with something that gets in the way of their ability to get consistent results. It’s really got nothing to do with what’s happening around them, but what’s within them, specifically their ability to develop and sustain a growth mindset.
