CANBERRA, Australia - AussieJournal -- Even though an employee might be a high performer, that doesn't mean they're cut out for leadership responsibilities. Finding the best future leaders starts with assessing for leadership capability. This evaluates whether employees are high potentials (HiPos) suited to leadership. The Acorn subject matter experts' recent article dives into the Importance of leadership capabilities and how to conduct an assessment.

Leadership capabilities are the behaviours, actions and thinking processes that set people apart as being a suitable leader. They vary in importance and application depending on the industry, organisation or team.

Despite this, the Acorn experts have identified several traits that are generally universal and crucial for effective leadership. Effective leaders communicate effectively, maintain trust with their team, make decisions with confidence, work collaboratively, solve problems, motivate themselves and others, and encourage growth in their subordinates.

"Understanding leadership capability is essential for marking potential leaders for succession planning," said Blake Proberts (CEO and Co-Founder). "By highlighting the leadership capabilities they still need, you'll have a head start in building leadership development programs."

A leadership capability assessment not only reveals current leaders' capabilities but also identifies employees who have potential for future leadership roles through a pattern of consistent development. It helps leaders boost employee engagement and self-awareness amongst their team, as well as provide a clearer career vision.

Assessing leadership capabilities can be achieved by defining a framework based on organisational context, strategy and leadership requirements, choosing the best workforce assessment methods, and tracking progress with repeated assessments over time to measure progress.
