Selected Findings

How to Spot — and Develop — High-Potential Talent in Your Organization

  • Article published by Harvard Business Review on May 26, 2022.
  • As organizations struggle to identify future leaders, they often focus on past track records of their candidates. However, this approach only works for roles that are known and where candidates have already demonstrated the characteristics and skills that are required. It does not help in identifying people with potential early in their career or people who are able to do things that they have not done prior, and may lead an organization to miss out on talent that is potentially more valuable.
  • To deal with this problem, Harvard Business Review came up with a model that can predict leadership potential and is grounded in measurable, observable behavior rather than achievements. The psychological makers involved include the cognitive quotient ("how they leverage their intellect"), the drive quotient ("what motivates them and how they apply their energy") and the emotional quotient ("how they interact with those around them").
