Cultivate Growth From The Inside: A Guide To Leadership Development
A passionate HR Executive with over 25 years of experience, Claudine Kourkoumelis currently leads the people team at Enova. Empowering and cultivating your leaders is important to the success of your organization. It is crucial that your leaders have the soft skills needed to step into the role and lead a team. Annually, organizations allocate more than $46 billion to leadership development initiatives, so they need to ensure the initiatives are effective. Leadership development shouldn't be confined to the executive suite. It must nurture both emerging and experienced leaders from the bottom up. An employee's day-to-day attitude and engagement are directly tied to their manager; in fact, 70% of a team member's engagement is determined by their direct manager. I want to explore the importance of establishing a structured leadership program so that all managers receive the same training. In this article, I'll discuss the role mentorship plays and how to develop a multilevel mentorship program. Lastly, I'll discuss the significance of promoting growth and a continuous learning culture. By following this approach, your organization can develop junior leaders and continue cultivating executive leadership. Establish A Leadership Development Program Sometimes, new or emerging leaders have no direct experience managing teams, whether in past roles or at your organization. With a strong leadership program, you can teach them the key, transferable skills that will contribute to their success. At Enova, for example, we host a quarterly 'Manager Ramp-Up' cohort so new managers can explore foundational topics around managing and leading people and teams. When building a leadership program, you must create a curriculum with sessions focused on leadership effectiveness, emotional intelligence and building trust with team members. If your organization already has a leadership program, ensure there are clearly articulated goals in place to determine effectiveness. You should track quantitative data like performance, promotion and retention rates across program alumni. Equally important is collecting qualitative data. Distribute feedback surveys at the program's midpoint and conclusion, and monitor any employee opinion survey data that measures a manager's effectiveness. Be sure you're tapping into team members with growth potential, not just current or new managers. Providing an early opportunity to learn leadership skills encourages top talent and reinforces your company's commitment to supporting career growth. This is vital because employees are more likely to stay with an employer that invests in their learning and development. Offer Mentoring Opportunities While structured leadership programs lay the groundwork, mentorship provides crucial one-on-one guidance and real-life modeling. Beyond gaining more practical knowledge, employees with mentors (even informal ones) are more engaged at work and often are easier to retain. These connections can even extend beyond the shared workplace; Harvard Business Review once reported that 84% of successful CEOs still turned to their mentor when facing tough decisions. An official mentorship program needs clear goals and objectives that tie directly to your overall company goals and values. For example, at Enova, one of our core values is Top Talent and Teamwork, and our mentorship program reflects this by having an objective to increase internal mobility. We aim to prepare high-potential team members for leadership roles by pairing them with experienced managers from different departments. It's important that your mentorship program has a formal process and structure that fits your company's culture. Our program, which requires a one-year commitment minimum from all parties, pairs an executive with three mentees at the director level, each of whom then gets three mentees of their own from the manager and senior associate levels. We chose this structure so team members at different levels could interact with each other and build connections throughout the company. To participate, our employees must complete an application that gathers what they hope to learn and what they're looking for in a mentor. Once mentees and mentors are matched, they attend a kickoff training that explains the program and sets expectations. From there, it's up to each pair to schedule their own meetings. While resources are provided to support the relationship, each pair's relationship may look different. Promote A Growth Mindset Growth and continuous learning are essential for employee success, especially among future leaders. Here are a few strategies for developing this mindset within your organization. • Encourage strategic goal setting. Have employees establish professional goals that tie back to business goals. For example, joining a stretch project would allow an employee to step outside of their comfort zone, learn new skills and contribute to business outcomes. • Host company learning sessions. In-person presentations, like tech talks or lunch-and-learn sessions, are an informal way for leaders to share their knowledge. Presenters could discuss their current projects, offer key takeaways from a recent conference they attended or teach employees how to leverage different tech tools. • Provide online resources. Designing online coursework is another way to encourage continuous learning. Lessons can cover a broad subject matter or focus on specific department topics or skill sets. For example, we have lessons centered around allyship. • Support continuing education. External resources can reinforce a learning culture. Encourage participation in virtual training courses, and support attending conferences or obtaining certifications. Our technology teams offer employees a yearly stipend to advance their career skills by attending conferences, joining webinars or taking certification courses. Cultivating leaders at every level of your organization is not just a strategic investment. Holistic leadership development is a necessity that drives engagement, retention and performance. When you prioritize the growth of your people, you create a culture where current and future leaders can thrive. In turn, your organization can remain resilient, innovative and future-ready.
