Steps

An organization must align the employees? efforts with the organizational goals, initiatives, and service delivery requirements. Productivity must be measured by results versus tasks. The expected results must be communicated up front to help employees focus their energy on activities that will help meet or exceed those goals.
Start by defining what the organization needs from its leaders (skills, competencies, level of business acumen).
Assess if the organization has what is needed in the right areas (do you have the right people in the right jobs, right now.)
Gauge an individual?s desire to be a leader. If the manager doesn?t like being in a leadership role, then he/she is most likely to be disengaged therefore cultivating disengagement within their own group.
Once the gaps have been identified (by comparing organization needs to current leaders? skills, competencies, etc.). Ask: Can the gap be taught or is it a talent issue? Talent is a person?s natural gifts; we?re born with them. Skill is the ability to take knowledge and willingly turn it into performance (results). There is no quick fix to overcoming many of the leadership gaps. Leadership growth and development must be nurtured regularly.
Develop a plan for addressing the skill gaps within the leadership team. Skills may be developed using ongoing training and practical application of the newly acquired knowledge.

Tips

Talent is natural and can enhanced, not created. Skills can be created so your HR department must play a critical role with this process.
Prioritize and focus on a few gaps at a time.
