How Successful are You at Attracting, Developing, and Retaining the Next Generation of Talented Leaders?
Your workforce is multi-generational, with Generation X taking over C-Suite roles, and Millennials starting to fill the middle and upper levels of senior leadership. By 2030 Millennials will be 75% of the workforce.
Right now, there is a fierce battle to attract, develop, and retain the best construction professionals between 25-40 years of age. Are you winning that battle?
7 Signs You're Losing the Talent War:
- You have no talent source to tap into, and it takes over 30 days to fill a critical position.
- You usually have to hire from the outside because you don't have internal candidates ready to step up.
- You are "hiring and hoping" and don't have confidence in the people you put in critical positions.
- You haven't defined and communicated the purpose of your business (beyond making money). Your people are uninspired because they can't commit to a clear and compelling higher cause
- New hires or promotions are often unsuccessful in performing their new duties, and critical positions are subject to frequent or unexpected turnover
- "Star Performers" or "Up and Comers" routinely leave the organization to advance professionally or to achieve their career goals
- Employees complain that promotions are not based on who is best qualified but rather on personal favoritism
Construction is extremely competitive and demanding, and not every person is cut out to succeed in the industry. Many construction company owners think it's almost impossible to find young leaders who are a good fit for the business. If your construction company is going to sustain success for the next 5-10 years, you need a proven, repeatable process for getting, growing, and keeping the best young talent.
Fortunately (if you know what to look for) you can identify up, and coming leaders that will not just survive, but thrive, and have a massive positive impact in your company.
I've published a short report which describes seven qualities successful emerging leaders have in common. After you've read it, you'll have a precise idea of exactly what to look for when you are hiring or promoting people in your company.
