Succession planning and leadership are the top two priorities for recruiters - that's according to Fiona Lander, Managing Director of the training and performance development specialists, Lander Associates.
Our open courses on effective leadership skills and performance management are already nearly full or the next two quarters says Fiona. This signals that recruiters are looking more closely at issues such as managing time between fee earning leadership, motivating and coaching for development.
Recent research from the CIPD has found that only 42% of UK leaders are satisfied with what their organisations offer to develop their leadership capabilities so it's good the see the recruitment industry taking these issues seriously adds Fiona.
Leadership development can also be a great attraction tool, she adds. People who see themselves as future leaders will want to work for you. But if you don't have a development strategy in place - your potential future talent is likely to be lost to your competitors.
