Most leadership development programs aren’t working. Only 24% of senior executives at firms that have them consider them to be a success.

Next, assess employees’ potential by looking at five predictors of strong competencies (motivation, curiosity, insight, engagement, and determination) and then map people’s potential to role requirements to see how far they can go.
