Here's how you can spot and cultivate future leaders in your team.

To help understand the leadership traits that will be valuable in your specific context, use data to uncover needs in relationship to organizational goals. Oftentimes, our decision about who is a "future leader" is based on a narrow definition of what it means to lead. This definition usually favors an assertive, take-charge style of leadership. This may or may not be what is needed for the organization. Thus, I suggest using behavioral assessments, 360 review results, observations of workplace interactions and other data -- not in a vacuum, but in relationship to current and future needs. Leveraging data will help you strategically identify the leadership traits that will accomplish organizational goals.

Com disse John Maxwell, "Líderes tornam-se grandes, não por causa de seu poder, mas por causa de sua capacidade de capacitar outros.". Para identificar e cultivar futuros líderes na equipe, observe atentamente quem demonstra iniciativa, comprometimento e habilidade de influenciar positivamente os demais. Estimule o desenvolvimento desses talentos através de oportunidades de liderança em pequena escala. Invista em treinamento de liderança e desenvolvimento profissional para aprimorar suas habilidades. E mantenha um diálogo aberto sobre suas aspirações de carreira e desafios, apoiando na busca de crescimento contínuo. Essa abordagem não apenas fortalece a equipe, mas também garante uma liderança eficaz no futuro.

Acredito que podemos desenvolver a liderança nos colaboradores. Identifique os colaboradores que estão dispostos a se desenvolverem e inicie um trabalho de criação de oportunidades para que isso ocorra. Crie situações e testes para que os colaboradores demonstrem o que sabem e que pratiquem suas habilidades. Lembre de planejar para que essas ações não prejudiquem os processos internos, então esteja pronto para entrar em ação, caso necessário.
