Helping Organisations Thrive with Julian Roberts #100 Corina Walsh | How to identify and support emerging leaders
In this podcast Corina discusses how to identify and then support emerging and front line leaders. She prioritises "coach-ability" as the number one trait to look for when identify future leaders; and advises organisations to consider having two different leadership tracks - one for business/technical leadership, and one for people leadership.
Corina advises companies to give any employee the chance to practice leadership skills in a low risk environment, and gives examples of this. New leaders need supporting in their role - knowing how to have a difficult conversation is a skill set that can be learned, and, like giving effective feedback, is something which a new leader can learn and practice in training. The managers of these new leaders also need to know (or to receive training on) how best to support the new leaders they are responsible for. Corina discusses how to create an environment within your organisation allowing and encouraging people to show emerging leadership skills or potential. Corina is a business owner, certified coach, and author of The Engaged Employee.
