IDENTIFY AND MEET THE NEEDS
OF YOUR EXECUTIVES
1. Development of future executives
Developing your talents takes time and a well thought-out strategy. Once your succession plan is in place, don't delay. It's crucial to start by cultivating their emotional intelligence, then their executive presence. Emotional intelligence is strengthened by proper awareness and regular practice over a period of 6 to 12 months. The same applies to executive presence. With careful preparation and appropriate support, they will be ready from the moment they are appointed to contribute to your organization's success.
2. Updating Executive Leadership
In this new era, even a seasoned executive must regularly update his or her leadership skills to continue to positively influence the company's growth and reputation as an employer. Key qualities to demonstrate include vision, practical knowledge, authenticity, calm and integrity. Without an adequate emotional quotient and an up-to-date executive presence, it will be difficult to manifest these qualities, especially in a stressful and constantly changing professional environment. Understanding how emotions influence a decision-making process is no longer a myth, it's a minimum requirement for an executive in 2025.
3. Supporting executives in difficulty
One of your leaders is the victim of harassment complaints in the workplace or seems to contribute to a toxic work environment. It could be that your executive is affected by cognitive biases that limit his or her ability to exercise discernment, show empathy, encourage compassion and apply these qualities to leadership and business decisions. Raising his emotional quotient will help him realize that he can be a high-performance leader while at the same time being respectful and engaging.
4. Supporting a return to work
Numerous studies, including those conducted by M-J, reveal that senior managers are always reluctant to ask for help for fear of being perceived as incompetent or weak. After a leave of absence for mental health reasons, the fear of judgment from colleagues can become an additional source of anxiety. As soon as they gradually return to work, having the support of a specialist who has lived through similar experiences and understands their professional situation can make all the difference and help avoid relapses. It's a great team effort involving the human resources department, the manager, his or her peer supporter, coach and mentor.
You're an expert in your field and a seasoned leader, so why should you prepare to become an executive?
