Another “Top 3” Placement for Communication Skills
If you’ve been in one of my keynote audiences, then you know I’m fond of referring to Top 3 lists. Here’s another survey just in from Bolt Consulting, a firm specializing in executive development. They interviewed 47 managers from 30 Global 1000 organizations to discover their secrets in identifying tomorrow’s top talent.
Results? Here’s the list of what they look for in these employees to put them “on the fast track” for the C-suite:
- Strong track record of performance and proven results in past or current roles
- Strong interpersonal skills
- Strong communication skills, including excellent verbal and written communication
- Drive, initiative, or an ambition to increase level of responsibility or readily accept new challenges
- Ability to create or articulate company vision and strategy, set direction, execute objectives, and understand the total business
Check out the rest of the article in the July issue of T+D for practical tips on developing this top talent, once identified.
