    \n
  1. Continuously developing leadership skills for all levels of management<\/li>\n
  2. Sponsoring recognized management courses so I can keep up to date on changing dynamics<\/li>\n
  3. Building programs where mid-level leaders can intern in another area to gain exposure and advance skills<\/li>\n
  4. Offering an external mentorship program; an external coach may be more helpful for insights into a person\u2019s development<\/li>\n
  5. Enhancing mentoring of new leaders by current colleagues and next-level leaders<\/li>\n
  6. Identifying individual strengths and weaknesses to help create a focused plan<\/li>\n
  7. Mentoring and guiding new leaders rather than removing them from leadership positions<\/li>\n
  8. Mentoring leaders for the first six months after they get promoted<\/li>\n
  9. Pushing leaders out of their department to see how other departments function; interns get to do this but managers do not<\/li>\n
  10. Valuing leaders for spending time and effort in growing their people<\/li>\n
  11. Promoting a culture of active mentorship outside of one\u2019s supervisor<\/li>\n
  12. Allowing time for development by reducing secondary responsibilities<\/li>\n
  13. Giving safe chances to sharpen leadership skills<\/li>\n
  14. Providing more venues for learning, such as special projects and rotational placements<\/li>\n
  15. Providing forums for managers to share ideas and discuss effective ways to handle issues<\/li>\n
  16. Organizing informal meetings to facilitate team bonding, identify talent, and increase job satisfaction<\/li>\n
  17. Allowing leaders to participate in outside organizations to network and better understand industry issues<\/li>\n
  18. Making sure all leaders have the opportunity to hear the stories of our VPs and AVPs just as the high-potential group does<\/li>\n
  19. Showing support from upper management for leaders in the same manner that leaders are taught to support the line staff<\/li>\n
  20. Giving more opportunity to learn how senior managers handle different situations\/issues<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
