Emerging Leaders Case Study: Health & Pharma

Overview

A leading pharmaceutical organisation engaged Maximus’ services to identify and accelerate their next generation of leaders.

Client objectives

To identify emerging leaders within the organisation and assess their true leadership potential.

Key areas of focus included:

  • Leadership behaviours and capabilities
  • Self-awareness
  • Business acumen
  • Cultural alignment to the organisation

The solution

Maximus sought to identify high-potential leaders who had the desire to succeed in a management role.

Maximus then developed a learning centre solution to challenge and stretch participants, and provide them with constructive coaching and planning to facilitate individual career development.

Post learning centre, the participants embarked on individual development projects to foster key competencies and prepare them for future leadership opportunities.

Ongoing, a framework was designed to assess future management potential, and an in-house learning talent and support system was established for high-potential individuals.

Outcomes to date

  • Well-defined career and succession plans are in place to support high-potential employees
  • The organisation has a clear insight into the capabilities of the next generation of leaders
  • A framework is in place to support the accurate appointment of leaders, with smoother transition into new roles
  • There has been dramatic improvement in the retention of high-potential employees
