Developing Leaders for the PharmaChem Industry: Driven by dramatic changes in the economy and the workforce, the current leadership shortage has become a predominant concern of top company executives. To address this talent problem, a key imperative for many HR professionals and managers is the focused development of early- and mid-career employees who exhibit the potential to reach company leadership positions.

This strategic research brief focuses on talent management strategies that provide junior-level high-potential employees (HIPOs) with adequate developmental support without a significant expenditure of organizational resources. The study explores four key requirements for the effective development of emerging talent:

Requirement One: Accurate, Efficient Identification of Junior HIPOs
Requirement Two: Appropriate Developmental Opportunities for HIPOs
Requirement Three: Explicit Support and Accountability for the Development of HIPOs
Requirement Four: Clear Understanding of the Efficacy of Talent Management Initiatives
