The leadership of a company is a key source of its competitive advantage – leaders set the vision, reinforce the values and culture, help drive results, influence morale, etc.
That is why the pipeline of future leaders is often a key metric to determine the health of a company. The talent development function plays a critical role in the development of its future leaders / high potentials – those who are seen as having the capability to move up to senior-level positions.

Veronica Hawkins – NFI Industries (VP, Talent Strategies and Solutions)
