High-potential employees are almost twice as valuable to an organization and three times more likely to succeed as future leaders. It is imperative for organisations to identify HIPOs, accelerate their development, and evaluate and ensure their continued success in the organization. But Organisations usually confuse Performance with Potential and are unable to clearly identify Hi-Potential employees. Moreover many organisations focus HIPO development as a sporadic programme. The need is to focus the programme on the capabilities required for future organizational success and needs of individual Hi-Pots. Another need is to demonstrate a credible organizational commitment to HIPO development and include Hi-risk leadership experiences in Hi-Pots day-to-day jobs.
