It’s the quest of many working people – work hard, do a good job and get promoted someday so you can be the boss. It’s the reward in most corporate cultures, to climb the ladder and be in charge. If most of us get to the top by climbing our way there, how come we forget what it’s like to be down in the ranks?

There’s a new leader in town and he is lighting it up. Meet the brightest light in your company— your new CEO or Chief Energy Officer. No skill will be more important for tomorrow’s leaders than the ability to generate and mobilize the energy of his workforce into a life force. That’s because energized people are turned on by what they do.

Mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, and growth all require an unprecedented need for information about key executives and a framework for assessing the competencies required to lead people during extraordinary times. Yet, even with the revolving doors at the top of many companies spinning faster than ever, organizations still overlook opportunities to develop talent from the bottom up, and they continue to allow the selection of top leadership to turn into messy melodramas.

“They don’t know what they’re doing!” said my client, squirming indignantly. “Our leaders just don’t have what it takes to lead a company our size.” As the CEO of an organization whose headcount had grown by 1,000% in three years, he had a point.

In the past, leaders used the terms replacement planning and succession planning synonymously, but the two differ. Convincing decision makers to have a disaster replacement plan in the event that key individuals die or depart unexpectedly is not too difficult; persuading them to prepare people for advancement years ahead of their actual promotions presents more challenges.
