For Organizations
Excellerate your leadership talent pool
The cost-effective way to grow your leadership talent pool and nurture leadership behavior at all levels of the organization.
Individuals need the intellectual freedom and confidence to shine in their own unique ways. Creating equitable and inclusive opportunities for middle managers (sometimes hidden gems) increases engagement, reduces talent drain and enables more future leaders to emerge ready to fill the leadership gaps most companies will face in the next few years.
When employees feel energized and valued, the quality of their contribution skyrockets — and so does their leadership potential.
8020 Excellerate™ is a career game-changer.
How and why do some people rise to leadership, and some stagnate? This question is not only important to individual success but has implications for how well organizations function today, and how well they are able to prepare for the future.
The traditional High Potential (HiPo) approach to leadership development does not yield the results leaders have come to expect. It also has significant negative consequences, magnified by COVID-19 and driving the Great Resignation. It is clear that employee priorities and expectations have changed. The world of work, particularly talent development, must be reimagined to attract and retain the talent organizations need.
At 8020 Excellerate we know there’s a better way to approach leadership development that elevates more of your employees, creates a culture of equity, and nurtures leadership at all levels. Employees feel valued, and are better equipped to embrace change, drive innovation, and contribute to organizational excellence.
Our purpose is to expand your leadership pool by offering a new kind of program that ignites leadership potential beyond your “rockstars.” Striving for equity, this approach uncovers the hidden gems who may have been undervalued for various reasons.
