HR's role in building competitive edge leaders

Article Abstract:

Data generated by Lominger Limited Inc.'s 360-degrees evaluation and feedback system VOICES were examined to identify the characteristics that raters think are important and how well managers are measuring up to these standards. The most valued leadership qualities that the people being rated were found to possess included action orientedness, business acumen, comfort around top management, decision quality, ethics and values, integrity and trust, and functional/technical skills. The important skills that they were found not to demonstrate enough included team building, dealing with ambiguity, developing direct reports, directing others, hiring and staffing, informing, and motivating others. To contribute in talent-building, the HR function should examine the current and future competency gaps within the organization, identify the developmental experiences that develop these competencies, and strive to become a better business partner.
