Introduction

A successful leader is one who is able to create, encourage and command changes in the organization through people. 

John Maxwell says, “the attitude of the leader in the organization can encourage people to accomplish great things.” Identifying potential leaders within an organization is not always an easy job but it is critical. It starts from the hiring process; ensuring you have the right people in your organization because if you select well, the benefits are multiplied and seem nearly endless however, if you select poorly, the problem is multiplied and endless.  As a leader or business owner, it is your ability to see the big picture, and your ability to judge potential employees that help you make the right choices. 

Research has shown that the number one reason many leaders fail to get to the highest calling of leadership is because they fail to develop the people in their organization. Developing people is so much more than nurturing and equipping, it is hard work and requires continual attention and commitment on the part of the leader or business owner on their people. This is why leaders must identify talents within the organization and spend time to develop the leaders.
