DR. WHIPPO EXPLAINS HOW SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES ENSURE LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT OF THE TALENT ROSTER

 Jeffery Whippo, Ph.D., D.B.A who is an expert in the subject of leadership, states

that one of the most critical tasks of an organization is to cultivate its leadership development pipeline.  He says that successful companies have found that by combining succession planning

and leadership development in to a “development pipeline”, they are able to create a process for the long-term management of the talent roster across the organization.

JEFFERY EXPLAINS WHAT IT TAKES FOR ORGANIZATIONS TO SUCCESSFULLY CREATE A DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

 Jeffery Whippo explains that in order for this process of creating a Development

Pipeline to be successful, organizations must be willing to do the needful.  For instance, they must put the time and effort in to specifically laying out not only

the task responsibilities of each job category, but also the required leadership profiles that are needed.  Jeffery further explains that the Development Pipeline must function in collaboration

with the company’s leadership development program, if one exists.

WHIPPO IMPLIES THAT LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES CHANGE AS PEOPLE ARE PROMOTED THROUGH THE COMPANY.

 Dr. Jeff Whippo says that the Development Pipeline and the Leadership programs

within the organization have to ensure that there is alignment on competencies, work values, and time applications which are commensurate with their positions.  He further says that slight variations from position to position as one is elevated up

the chain become critical success factors.

WHIPPO SHARES HOW TO QUICKLY IDENTIFY FAILURES IN DEMONSTRATING ESTABLISHED COMPETENCIES  According to Whippo, by ensuring alignment of the Development Pipeline and any

Leadership program, failures in demonstrating established competencies can be identified quickly.  Thereafter, adjustments in the Development Pipeline can be made for individuals and

for the company as a whole.  Whippo indicates that this also provides check and balance on the Leadership

program to ensure that the right competencies are being focused on through training and education.
