In today’s dynamic and competitive environment, organizations often name innovation, data, technology, or culture as their most valuable assets. While these are vital, their value is unlocked—or lost—through leadership.
Great leaders amplify innovation, attract top talent, shape culture, and maximize team performance. Without intentional leadership management, even your best strategies fall short. Yet, while companies actively manage their IT systems, intellectual property, and mineral rights, few manage their leadership talent as a critical resource. That must change.
Leadership Resources Management (LeadershipRM™) is a strategic approach to identifying, developing, and deploying leadership talent with the same rigor used to manage any high-value asset. Like CRM systems for customers or ERP platforms for operations, LeadershipRM ensures leadership is measured, maintained, and aligned with organizational goals.
Why LeadershipRMTM Matters More Than Ever
Strong leaders are in short supply — especially as Baby Boomers exit the workforce and Gen Z demands more purpose-driven and people-focused work cultures. If you’re not managing your top leadership talent, someone else will — often your competitor.
By adopting a LeadershipRM™ strategy, your organization can:
- Retain high-potential leaders before they become high-cost losses
- Make smarter leadership assignments and promotions with fewer regrets
- Identify and address toxic leadership before it damages morale, performance, and brand reputation
1. Retain Your Most Marketable Leadership Talent
Top-performing leaders are not only valuable—they’re highly poachable. Studies (e.g., Harvard Business Review) show that the top reasons high performers leave are lack of purpose, development, and appreciation—not compensation.
Replacing a high-impact leader can cost 1–2x their annual salary—or more. Proactive retention starts with knowing who your most valuable leaders are, understanding their drivers, and building individualized growth paths.
Our proprietary assessment and coaching tools help you:
- Identify at-risk high-potential leaders
- Understand what motivates them
- Build loyalty and engagement through meaningful development
2. Reduce Costly Leadership Missteps
According to Gallup, organizations get leadership appointments wrong 82% of the time. That’s because many promotions are based on technical expertise—not leadership readiness.
A brilliant individual contributor doesn’t automatically make a great team leader. Misaligned assignments lead to team disengagement, poor performance, and high turnover.
Our LeadershipRM™ approach helps you:
- Match the right leader to the right role at the right time
- Reduce trial-and-error promotions
- Support transitions with targeted coaching and onboarding
3. Detect and Mitigate Toxic Leadership Early
Every organization—regardless of size—harbors at least one toxic leadership situation. These leaders may “manage up” effectively and deliver results, but leave a trail of low morale, high turnover, and team dysfunction.
Gallup estimates that poor management-related disengagement costs U.S. businesses $500 billion annually.
We help you uncover toxic leadership patterns by:
- Going beyond 360s and engagement surveys
- Using multi-layered assessments to expose hidden risks
- Delivering actionable coaching to correct course—or make a change
Think of LeadershipRM™ as CRM for Leadership Talent
You already track customers, finances, and assets—why not track and grow your most critical asset: your leaders?
- Manage your best leadership talent
- Assign the right leaders to the right opportunities
- Hire and grow a pipeline of high-potential talent
- Prevent attrition and dysfunction before they damage performance
