FROM LEADERSHIP SKILLS at http://www.mindtools.com)
The
Leadership Pipeline Model
Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, and James Noel developed
the Leadership Pipeline Model. The model
helps organizations grow leaders internally at every level. It provides a framework that you can use to
identify future leaders, assess their competence, plan their development, and
measure results. According to the
model's developers, leaders progress through six key transitions, or "passages,"
in order to succeed.
The
Leadership Pipeline Model
Each leadership stage needs different skill-sets and
values. There are several benefits of
using the Leadership Pipeline Model:
·
promoting leaders from within is better
·
ensures that organizations have a steady stream of
internal candidates
·
encourages leaders to develop new skills and
mind-sets for leading at the next level
·
raise the morale of the entire workforce
·
staff turnover goes down and productivity and
engagement go up
·
helpful for planning your own career trajectory
