How HR managers can help leaders develop exceptional teams.
Effective leadership is crucial to the success of any organisation.
As an HR manager, you play a vital role in developing the leadership capabilities of your leaders.
Leading at the right level requires focusing on high-value work with a future focus appropriate for that individual's pay grade.
However, when people are promoted into a more senior role without development support, they may fall back into old habits learned from previous bosses when interacting with others.
While some attributes may be effective, others may not work for this leader or team.
You can support these leaders in developing the skills and capabilities they need to be effective.
This can include providing leadership development opportunities such as
- leadership training programs
- coaching
- mentorship
- stretch opportunities
- shadowing other effective leaders, and so on
You can also encourage them to reflect on their leadership strengths and seek feedback from their team and colleagues to identify the areas they are already great at.
By investing money and time in your leaders' development and encouraging a curiosity mindset, you can help them become the type of leader they aspire to be. This will benefit not only the leader but also their team and organisation.
