Both were facing leadership gaps. Both assumed they needed to hire.But what shifted everything… was realizing they already had the people.They just needed a more intentional approach to developing them.Key TakeawaysWhy leadership gaps often come from a lack of development, not a lack of talentHow to identify leadership potential on your current team, even if no one feels ready yetWhat intentional leadership development actually looks like in real teamsDo you want help developing a Leadership Development strategy? Email: [email protected] or visit intentionalaction.net This podcast for managers is here to help you:• Grow your leadership development • Navigate team management with confidence • Learn how to handle conflict at work • Apply real, practical leadership tipsIf this episode helped you:Share it with another managerLeave a 5-star reviewFollow along for more supportTake the DISC or Working Genius Assessment and get a FREE 20 minutes debrief with Desiree Taking Intentional Action: How to Choose the Life You LeadConnect:  Linked In | Instagram | Website
