Being seen as a high potential leader is essential to getting promoted and reaching an organisation's upper echelons, but most companies keep their top talent list a closely guarded secret. And the assessment process they use to decide who is and isn't a future leader is an even greater mystery.
Leadership development experts Jay Conger and Allan Church draw upon decades of research and experience - designing high potential programs for hundreds of large well-known global organisations, and managing and coaching thousands of developing leaders - to reveal a set of key differentiators: the five 'X factors' that set people apart across companies of all types. Packed with examples of high potential leaders - from those on the verge of their first promotion to those only a step away from the C-suite - the authors provide detailed advice for cultivating and practicing each 'X factor'.
