DEVELOPING YOUR
LEADERSHIP PIPELINE
Transforming the Next Generation of Leaders

Every morning in Asia, a tiger
wakes up. It knows it must
outrun the slowest deer or it
will starve to death.
Every morning in Asia, a deer
wakes up. It knows it must run
faster than the fastest tiger or it
will be killed.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a tiger or a deer;
when the sun comes up, you’d better be running…..
Are You a Tiger or a Deer?

Succession Planning Approach

“Crisis may be an overused word, but it’s a
fair description of the state of leadership in
today’s corporations. CEOs are failing
sooner and falling harder, leaving their
companies in turmoil. At all levels,
companies are short on the quantity and
quality of leaders they need.”
Reference: Ram Charan, “Leaders at All Levels”, Jossey-Bass, Wiley, San Francisco, California, 2008
Business Case for Succession
Planning

11
Succession Planning &
High Potentials
• Succession planning involves the identification of high-
potential employees, evaluating and honing their skills
and abilities, and preparing them for advancement into
positions which are key to the success of business
operations and objectives.
• Succession planning involves:
 Understanding the organization's long-term goals and objectives.
 Identifying the high-potential candidates and their respective
developmental needs.
 Determining workforce trends and predictions.

Building a Leadership Pipeline –
Development of High Potentials

Who are High Potentials?
 High Potentials consistently and significantly outperform their
peer groups in a variety of settings.
 While achieving these superior levels of performance, they
exhibit behaviors that reflect their companies’ culture and
values in an exemplary manner.
 Show a strong capacity to grow and succeed throughout their
careers within an organization – more quickly and effectively
than their peer groups do.
Reference: Douglas Ready, Jay Conger and Linda Hill, ‘Are You a High Potential? Harvard Business Review, June 2010

 The difference between high-performance employees and high-
potential employees is that the high-performance employee are
very good at performing their jobs, while the high-potential
employees have demonstrated measurable skills and abilities
beyond their current jobs.
 The real damage is done when the high-performance employee
is promoted to a managerial level, is uncomfortable and
struggles in their new role, resulting in high levels of stress and
anxiety, causing them to quit.
High Performers vs. High Potentials

 Studies show employee turnover can cost companies
up to 40 percent of their annual profit. That's for the
turnover of all employees, regardless of their
performance levels.
 The financial impact of losing a significant number of
high-potential employees (including those Gen X and Y
who have been identified as your future leaders) can be
exponentially higher.
High Performers vs. High Potentials
Reference: High-Potential Management Survey, by Corporate Leadership Council released in 2005

• Next Generation of leaders at all levels demonstrate
a high degree of Emotional Intelligence in their role
• Emotionally intelligent leaders create an
environment of positive morale and higher
productivity resulted in sustainable employee
engagement
• Critical EI competencies includes: relationship
management; cross cultural communication;
effective negotiation and conflict management

Transition Coaching’ In ‘Coaching in Asia – The First Decade’., Candid Creation Publishing LLP, September 2010.
