Regular appraisals help you to identify and develop tomorrow’s business leaders. Studies have proven annual appraisals to be ineffective at promoting leadership development. Instead, employees achieve greater results when provided with early and frequent feedback. Developing strong communication between employees and managers allows you to effectively groom future leaders.
Natural leaders tend to have a restless energy they’re keen to put to good use, even if it’s outside of their role.
