Determining high potentials in your organization

92 percent of companies don't have a systematic process in place to identify high potentials. Without a clear and consistent process to identify them, there's the risk that the right individuals aren't identified, or that key individuals who can have a real impact on the business are overlooked. So let's explore how you can identify high potentials in your organization. You may use a structured, informal process where you bring leaders together to talk about your key employees, or you might use a more formal process called a talent review.

Either way, the goal is to identify those employees who consistently stand out, who outperform others, and who can be promoted more quickly than their peers. You're looking for individuals with a drive to succeed, career ambition, superlative skills, and a commitment to your success. An easy way to start is to look at individuals with a strong track record over time. Once you've identified this group, take a closer look. See who has accomplished more than others by taking risks, seizing new opportunities.
