If you want the best out of your employees, make sure you\u2019re investing in the ones with the highest potential for return. Here\u2019s how to spot them:<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When people start businesses, the aim is not to hire employees who will stay stagnant in the role in which they started. The dream is not that they\u2019ll have to keep hiring new talent to fill mid- and top-level management roles. The goal is to be able to develop employees into long-lasting and valuable assets of the company \u2013 and that the current talent will grow into its future leaders. But it can be tough to figure out who has serious growth potential \u2013 and, frankly, you don\u2019t want to invest in someone who won\u2019t be able to go the distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThink of it like this\u201d, says Martin Sutherland, co-founder of TalentPrint. \u201cIf you had a gym membership to give away, would you give it to someone has no interest in going, or someone who already enjoys fitness? Would you give it to someone who doesn\u2019t think they need to exercise or would you give it to someone who sees the value \u2013 and is committed to putting in the hours?\u201d The answer is obvious. And because your money, time and effort is (presumably) not endless, it makes sense to invest in people who are most likely to offer the highest return.<\/p>\n

To spot who has the highest potential for growth, you need to identify an employee\u2019s willingness and ability to grow. How? There are four main attributes that have the markings of high growth potential \u2013 and every employee falls on the scale for each. See how your employees fare in these areas, to see who could develop into a leader. They are:<\/p>\n

1: Self-alignment<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Employees are prone to blind spots (what they see as a strength, but others see as a weakness) and hidden strengths (what they see as a weakness, but others see as a strength). If they have too many of either, they will overuse what they are not good at and under-use what they are good at. If there is a large difference between how an employee sees him\/herself and how others see them, there is low potential for growth.<\/p>\n

2: Self-evaluation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Self-evaluation is the act of being able to critically analyse how you are versus how you could be. This is crucial in being able to grow. Traditional self-evaluation methods, however, can mean people over-rate themselves, based on \u201coptimism bias\u201d. Ensure you\u2019re taking that into account when assessing a person\u2019s ability to self-evaluate.<\/p>\n

3: Feedback receptiveness<\/strong><\/h4>\n

No surprises here, but people who are open to change and personal growth actively seek
\nfeedback from others. They understand that what they know about themselves can only be enhanced by different information they get from other people they work with. Candidates with huge growth potential don\u2019t shy away from (sometimes tough) feedback.<\/p>\n

4: Energetic and consistency in learning<\/strong><\/h4>\n

These are two major characteristics that are correlated with a willingness and ability to change and grow. Someone who is constantly learning will have a vast general knowledge and will be good at keeping up with trends. While one with an energetic approach will stick to tasks, and consistently achieve goals and meet targets.<\/p>\n

Of course, even when you know what you\u2019re looking for, it\u2019s not always easy to spot on your own. A tool, such as TalentPrint (previously YouLab) uses analytics, feedback reports and self-evaluation techniques to \u2018score\u2019 employees in each of these attributes, helping to get a big-picture view on who could be the next leader in a company. It can:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Calculate the difference between the way others see someone, and how they see themselves.<\/li>\n
  • Identify the \u2018optimism bias\u2019 in a person\u2019s self evaluation.<\/li>\n
  • See how much feedback users have requested over time.<\/li>\n
  • Offer feedback on a person\u2019s ability to be a \u2013 as the tool calls it \u2013 a \u201cConstant Learner\u201d or \u201cEnergetic Driver\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The end result is a growth-potential map that shows an employee\u2019s baseline growth potential by scoring them on the attributes above, from low to very high.<\/p>\n

    If the traditional methods of identifying growth potential are leaving you unsure, it\u2019s worth trying out tools that use in-depth people analytics to create a map of the talent in your company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
