High Potential Managers/Fast Track Managers Programmes
High Potential managers present unusual challenges to their employers.
- They are typically highly energetic, and often find it difficult to focus for several days on a single topic or group of topics. The development programme has to consist of a number of short, intensive modules.
- They often make significant progress in their competence and their careers during the programme itself, so the programme should not generally be restricted to a specific level of seniority.
- They gain a great deal by mixing with colleagues from different sites, countries and functions.
- They tend to drive their own progress and own their own development. The architecture and design of their programme must reflect this, with the minimum of external direction and the maximum of personal motivation and opportunity to define their own speed and learning process.
All these points are, of course, present to some extent among all managers: but High Potential managers show them much more strongly, and any programme must therefore present them with significant challenges, a rich mix of learning experience, and the motivation of working with a wide range of colleagues throughout the learning process
Thornbury is dedicated to the value of Action Learning for all our clients, but it is particularly important for these managers. What happens in the classroom must be reinforced by giving the managers the opportunity to translate their insights and ideas into practice in the workplace. This is not extra work: they do their usual work better and faster by exploring new techniques and developing new approaches.
