Your best performer got the bigger role, and now the team is struggling. Here is where the promotion went sideways.
In this on-demand webinar, Yvonne Gaines, Herrmann's Director of Client Value and Growth, follows one promotion from the first stretch assignment to the next level up. You will see which kind of thinking each step demands, and how to prepare people for it before they struggle.
3 Key Takeaways:
- See Where It Stalls: Every promotion changes what the job asks of someone's thinking. Look at the leadership pipeline through a Whole Brain® Thinking lens to find the point where a strong performer starts leaning on the thinking that got them promoted.
- Develop in Layers: One workshop rarely sticks. Combine cohorts, practice on real decisions, and regular coaching so new habits have time to take hold.
- Stretch on Purpose: Name the thinking preference a high potential has not yet had to show, build one stretch assignment around it this quarter, and ask afterward: which lens did you reach for first, and did it fit?
