RANT: The WRONG Way To Build Your Emerging Leaders Program

The number one mistake leadership development professionals make with emerging leaders programs? How they approach SELECTION.

This episode details how to nail the selection process.

You have to stop:
- Overthinking and overcomplicating your selection process
- Dumping money and resources into SELECTION
- Weeding out enthusiastic applicants

And you have to start:
- Selecting based on self-selection + manager approval
- Dumping money into TRAINING
- Enabling and encouraging enthusiastic talent

Shift your mindset away from exclusivity and toward potential. A strong emerging leaders program is a huge competitive advantage. It helps you build a pipeline of diverse talent and then cultivate that talent. So don't put too much money and time into limiting your pipeline.
