From the course: Managing High Potentials

Welcome

- High potentials. These are the smart-thinking, fast-learning performers who likely represent the next generation of leadership within your organization. If you've been tasked with managing these high potentials, the stakes are high, and it's not always an easy job. Without the right balance of support and independence, these high potentials may get impatient, frustrated, or, worse yet, pursue careers elsewhere. To successfully manage high potentials, you need a targeted strategy and a specific style of leadership finesse. Hi, I'm Sara Canaday, and I want to welcome you to this course. I'm a leadership expert, keynote speaker, and author. Through my work as an executive coach and consultant for numerous high potential programs, I've worked with hundreds of high potentials, as well as the managers who help them grow and thrive. During this course, we'll explore the common challenges of managing high potentials and the unique set of expectations they bring to their jobs. You'll learn about efficient management strategies to fuel their fast-paced growth and effective communication techniques to further guide their development. At the end of our time together, you'll have the tools you need to make a stronger impact on these high potentials, to help them take on greater responsibilities, and ultimately to generate maximum results for your organization. It's a tremendous opportunity. Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey. Now let's get started.
