How to Grow High Potentials

Identifying and Developing Talent within Succession Planning
This month we’ve been talking about high potentials- identifying, developing, and keeping them. Any discussion of high potentials naturally takes the conversation to succession planning- which is the process of developing the next generation of organizational leadership. Our very own I/Oers, Dr. Marni Falcone and Mike Camburn, were featured in a webinar by the Society…
Common and Best Practices in Identifying HiPos
High potential employees, often abbreviated as HiPos, are those who are in the top 3-5% of the organization workforce, perform better than their peers, exhibit the organizational values, and show potential to become successful leaders.

For years, FMP has had a fairly rigorous approach to selecting and assessing our workforce, both for our consulting and internal hires. This would make sense- we’re a company that provides advice and expertise to our clients on these topics and we have a large contingent of Industrial Organizational (I/O) Psychologists, in addition to an…
Selecting and Assessing Employees: How to “Pick the Sharpest Tools in the Shed”
When people think of selection and assessment, they usually imagine going into a room in which a nicely-dressed business professional asks them various questions about their work experiences, with the elusive and daunting, “Tell me about yourself.” However, interviews come in many different forms. How do you know which one to select? Which one would…

It’s a Wrap! 2018 in the Blog It goes without saying, but, wow, does time fly! As we reach the end of 2018 and a month of blog content focused (appropriately) on reflection, our Social Media team wanted to take the opportunity to look back on the year we’ve had. This year marked a critical…
