Reading this article* in The Glass Hammer,
I couldn't resist sharing it with you especially after my piece on this last year (http://empowered-women-excel.blogspot.ca/2013/03/are-you-hi-po-or.html).
I’ll highlight things that struck me, my comments are in purple font:
According to Harvard Business Review, companies identify 3-5%
of their workforce as “High Potential.” If you have made that list,
congratulations! You likely have outstanding technical expertise and an
aptitude for strategic thinking. You probably have already delivered strong
results, succeeded in various roles, and sought ways to improve processes and efficiency.
Although making the list is an achievement in and of itself, it is only the
first step. Now, as your journey as a “High Potential” begins, what steps
should you take to position yourself for realizing that potential? EW: Indeed it’s one thing to “get on
the list” Congrats!!! Now, how do you (plan to) stay on the list? It know how - it's actually as simple as ABC...
