Leadership development ensures that the right people are performing well in leadership roles at all levels. HR focuses on job architecture, incumbent assessment, performance definition, recognition for success and building leadership capacity. Self-mastery and soft skills are also key to what leaders need to maximize performance from others. HR’s most important role is ensuring that the organization has an ample supply of leadership and management capability at every level of the enterprise. It is leaders, who envision the future and help people generate the motivation to go there, and managers, who see to it that systems, assets and processes serve their purposes efficiently, who enable the enterprise to make the most of each employee’s contribution.
