When you are planning a development program for leaders,
do not neglect to include those critical members of your company who may not
supervise anyone. In other words, they are not currently in a management position
but fulfill responsible and crucial roles in the organization. These are your
hidden leaders that often greatly influence others.
Situational leadership training experts say that hidden
leaders have great potential. Give them the opportunity to develop their
skills. Even if they do not end up managing others, they will learn how to be
better team players, improve their communication skills, and understand what it
takes to coach effectively. These are all skills that will benefit the
organization as a whole and, because you have invested in their future, these
hidden leaders will pay you back in stronger commitment to the company. As
their commitment grows, so will their engagement in their job and their
productivity. And, if they end up in management, they will be better prepared
to fulfill the role successfully.
