How to successfully identify and develop high potential employees

High potential employees are 91% more valuable to a business than non-high potential workers.

These prized individuals can raise the performance bar of other workers; simply adding a star performer to a team alone boosts the effectiveness of other team members by 5-15%.

Yet many businesses struggle with how to effectively identify, develop, and retain high-potential talent in their organizations.

Companies mistakenly misinterpret high performance for high potential, while others don’t address it in an analytical reliable way, relying solely on managers’ instincts or observations about who has future leadership potential.
