ICEDR Program High Potential Talent: How to attract, develop, engage, and advance them Hosted by AGSM Executive Education Sydney, Australia ● March 18, 2013

About the Program Some employees are more talented than others. The challenge is how to attract, engage, advance and retain the people who have the highest potential. This is a highly important endeavor as these employees create disproportionate value for your organization. They play a central role in helping your company win now and will continue to do so into the future — but only if you understand what drives them. Many questions abound: Just what are the hallmarks of a high potential leader? How do your high potentials differ from other emerging leaders in your company? What attracts these “hi pos” to your work place? How can you develop, engage and retain them, without disrupting the other 98% of your work force? Should companies tell high potentials that they indeed, hold this designation? What are the costs and benefits of telling versus not doing so? Are there differences in what makes a high potential leader in different companies, different industries, different countries and different cultures?

During this ICEDR Program, you will have an opportunity to explore these and many more topics with Professor Doug Ready, the co-author of the highly popular Harvard Business Review article: “Are You a High Potential?”. For this study, Doug and the research team surveyed 45 companies and interviewed a dozen HR executives worldwide about how they develop high potential employees. For over 20 years, Doug has worked with organizations around the world in helping them to develop their emerging and senior leadership talent and has deep insights into the anatomy of a high potential.

Format This ICEDR Program will be designed as a forum for dialogue and intensive discussion. This will be a peer exchange, enabling you to discuss what you are working on in the area of developing leadership talent, with a special emphasis on high potential talent. We will engage in a dialogue about what innovative things are happening right now in companies.
