Individual Contributors

As individual contributors reevaluate their careers in the wake of a changing work environment, it’s important for organizations to provide new career paths. These include helping individual contributors stay in the current role with the same responsibilities, stay in their current role but develop strategic capabilities and/or fundamentally transition to a “leader of others” role.

The Problem

Not all individual contributors are interested in moving into a formal management role and organizations need to provide additional career options to retain these critical contributors.

Organizations struggle with retaining high-performing Individual Contributors

More so, now than ever, organizations are forcing individual contributors to accept a formal management role, even when they have no interest in that position. One of the greatest opportunities that organizations have is to leverage the knowledge of capability of this group without forcing them to accept a new position or title.

Informal Leaders are the best-kept secret in Organizations

Organizations are now looking to their high-performing individual contributors and informal leaders as the key to remaining competitive in today’s environment. The ability to help this group understand how to increase their impact and contribution while also maintaining a high level of performance is one of the key missing pieces in today’s talent development processes.

Leveraging and Retaining Informal Leaders

Providing individual contributors with options on where to take their career is one of the greatest opportunities for organizations. Growing high-performing experts, providing strategic thinking and opportunities to these experts and preparing some for formal leadership roles is something that Emerge Leadership Group can provide you and your organization.
