"Leadership identification and engagement is 25% of your job." [adapted from the research of Bobby Clinton]
Most people that talk about leadership development do not spend a quarter of their time looking for and assessing emerging leaders. It came seem counter productive, too risky to spend lots of energy on, and we've already got solid leaders to invest in.
Meet the potential leaders of the emerging generation - the ones who are cause driven, the ones who doesn't wait for institutions to say yes after lots of red tape, the leaders who are ready now, those that may not know how to do it today, but have the audacity to figure it out by tomorrow.
You will never have enough leaders. Begging, stealing and borrowing them will work for a short while. Instead, identify and create them.
