Fostering your in-house leadership pipeline is good business. It helps foster a culture of advancement and opportunity in your organization. But when I’m considering someone in house, I don’t just go with who’s likeable or who bought me chicken wings at the last editors’ happy hour gathering. I do my homework with their managers to see how they demonstrate certain qualities -- qualities I need on my team to help us meet our revenue and content goals. The first quality is ownership. Does this person own the work product? Do they pay attention to detail and are they known for quality content? Friendly and fun won't cut it. It does me no good to have a senior editor folks like if that senior editor puts out shoddy, disorganized content that hurts our standing to our readers. Another quality I need: next-level thinking. Is this person paying attention to our industry and watching our competitors to see where we need to go next with our content products? Are they reading research and spending time with our sales team to understand client needs? Are they anticipating what’s next and coming to me with ideas? Or are they sitting on their heels, watching? Today’s Leadership & Development story talks about these traits and two others that are critical for developing in-house leader talent. Are you evaluating for these qualities? What other ones are important to you? Let me know! And if you enjoy this brief, tell others so they can benefit also.
