According to a recent Deloitte article called ‘Developing and Retaining Future Leaders’, one of the top three reasons employees provide when leaving an organization is the lack of professional growth and development. Conversely, the article cited that leadership development opportunities were among the top three most effective retention initiatives for both Millennials and Generation X’ers. No longer are financial incentives the #1 reason why employees stay or leave an employer.

The question is why. If we know why our Millennials and Gen X’ers leave, then why are organizations not pouring resources to shore up the leadership competencies of our future leaders? The answer is threefold.

Organizations are running lean which means less people need to do more. With this reality comes a lack of time to commit to activities, like leadership training, that take away from our “day jobs” and may not provide instant ROI. One’s ability to lead is generally not the reason one gets promoted. Instead, promotions are given because of a person’s functional/technical competence, aka they are good at their job. However being good at your job does not naturally mean one will be a good leader. We tend to promote in our likeness, but the up and coming generations are not like us. The skills required to be effective future leaders are different, and need to be taught as they are likely not be demonstrated (all the time) by current leadership. The recent crisis will fundamentally change how we do business, and our future leaders will require a toolbox filled with different leadership capabilities. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is at the top of necessary tools. Future leaders have to be self-aware, able to self-manage emotions, have a keen awareness of others, and strong relationship building skills. They will need to be resilient in the face of adversity, and they will need to be transparent and authentic.

Satori’s Future Leaders On-line program will provide future leaders with the tools they need to be successful in good times and in bad times.
