The High Potential's Advantage: Get Noticed, Impress Your Bosses, and Become a Top Leader

Are you a high potential? Your managers and HR department are constantly wondering that about you—and assessing whether or not you have what it takes to advance. Here’s how to get them to answer yes.

• Reveals what organizations typically don’t tell their people and makes sense of what is usually a mysterious and confusing process for aspiring leaders and ambitious people inside organizations. • Helps aspiring leaders figure out whether or not they are perceived as a high potential in their organizations—along with how to earn that status as well as deliver on it once they’ve achieved it. • Identifies the five “X factors” that set people apart and shows how to cultivate and practice each one. • Helps readers identify the particular “trump factors” that are specific to their organization, and how to “read” their company’s process for assessing and developing high potentials. • Offers assessment tools and shows how they are relevant depending on management level.

Audience:

• Ambitious managers at all levels of the organization, especially younger managers looking to be promoted into higher levels and wondering how they stack up compared to others. • Middle managers who want to keep moving up the ranks in their organizations, and who worry about hitting a plateau and being surpassed by others. • Anyone who aspires to the C-suite. • HR, corporate learning, and talent management professionals. • Leadership development and training consultants and executive coaches.
