Fair assessments can double diversity in HiPo pools (ScienceDirect, 2021). Why It Matters Diverse leadership isn’t just the right thing to do—it sparks better ideas and stronger results. But bias in how we pick future leaders often holds back women and minorities. The good news? You can make your process fairer and spot more HiPos in the process.  Where Bias Sneaks In  – Subjective Ratings: Gut feelings can favor certain groups (Catalyst, 2020).  – Narrow Leadership Models: If you only see loud, extroverted types […] - [Assessment Center Lessons: Top Emerging Leader Participant Reflections](https://vayagroup.com/assessment-center-lessons-top-emerging-leader-participant-reflections/): Insights from Assessment Centers: Notable Reflections by Aspiring Leaders Perhaps the greatest risk to leadership development initiatives today is the tremendous investment and money spent on learning and development initiatives, only to have minimal application and subsequently limited impact on the objectives of the business.  Since studies show that leaders have the greatest behavioral growth via experiential learning initiatives, assessment centers and simulations are vital tools in the development of future leaders at all levels. Assessment centers are an immersive learning experience in which leaders are asked to demonstrate and practice real-world leadership capabilities.  In addition to offering the organization […] - [5 Leadership and Development Trends to Look Out for in 2024](https://vayagroup.com/5-leadership-and-development-trends-to-look-out-for-in-2024/): Uncover pivotal trends shaping leadership and development The new year has begun and with it come a lot of changes to which business leaders will need to adapt. Last year saw a marked shift for many companies with the move to a hybrid or fully remote workforce post-pandemic; now that these companies have begun to settle into this new “normal”, it’s time to start thinking about what these changes mean for other aspects of your business — whether you have been one of the companies to go remote or not.  In this new era of increasingly complex workforce dynamics, we […] - [Equipping Next-Gen Leaders with Human Skills to Lead in a New World](https://vayagroup.com/equipping-next-gen-leaders-with-human-skills-to-lead-in-a-new-world/): Preparing Young Leaders with Vital People Skills for a Changing World In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, investing in the development of the next generation of leaders is crucial for the success and sustainability of organizations. A consistent theme across multiple industries is that talented individuals with great potential are leaving for what they perceive to be better developmental experiences and career growth at other companies. This concern is even stronger among organizations who have either a work-at-home or a hybrid work arrangement. Companies that provide effective leadership development opportunities at all levels are more likely to rank high in […] - [Roles of CFOs in Driving EBITDA Growth: Unleashing Common Strengths](https://vayagroup.com/roles-of-cfos-in-driving-ebitda-growth-unleashing-common-strengths/): CFOs’ Vital Part in Boosting EBITDA Growth: Harnessing Shared Abilities In today’s competitive business landscape, Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) hold a crucial position in driving the financial success of organizations.

Cameron, Ph.D., M.B.A.   Senior Managing Consultant, Vaya Group A few years ago, I was talking with a colleague of mine about the importance of women being able to self-advocate, and she characterized it as acting as one’s own agent. It got me thinking about what an agent does for her clients… When you think about it, couldn’t everyone use an agent to support and guide their careers? Ideally, yes – yet it’s not realistic. So, we need to figure out how to drive our own career trajectories and aspirations. How are you at being your own agent? What […] - [Leading Neurodivergent Employees](https://vayagroup.com/leading-neurodivergent-employees/): By Jeremy Watson, Ph.D., LMFT Managing Consultant and Certified Executive Coach, Vaya Group In a world that celebrates diversity, understanding neurodiversity is crucial for everyone, not just for leaders. Neurodivergence encompasses a variety of brain make-ups that are as unique as individuals themselves. It’s estimated that 10-20% of the global population is neurodivergent, a term that includes conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia, among others. These conditions can present challenges, but also unique strengths and perspectives that can enhance creativity and problem-solving. For instance, individuals with ASD might find social interactions and communication more challenging, […] - [In the wake of the NFL draft, it’s worth asking: What are the three marks of “high- potential” talent?](https://vayagroup.com/in-the-wake-of-the-nfl-draft-its-worth-asking-what-are-the-three-marks-of-high-potential-talent/): By Rob Kjar, Ph.D.,Senior Managing Consultant, Vaya Group I love watching the NFL draft. The greatest college athletes line up to join the professional ranks where their raw talent will be put to the test. It is the epitome of a pressure cooker – the greatest example of a talent review with very, very, tangible outcomes. I have been working closely with so-called “hi-po” leaders for more than 15 years, and the draft and some recent conversations with executives around talent reviews brought me back to some fundamental questions. Once, when I was working with a group of 20 or so […] - [Q&A with Vaya Group’s Assessment Center Experts](https://vayagroup.com/qa-with-vaya-groups-assessment-center-experts/): By Beth Doladee, M.A., M.B.A., Managing Consultant and SCC Certified Coach, and Amy Walker, Client Success Manager Beth Doladee, M.A., M.B.A., Managing Consultant and SCC Certified Coach, and Amy Walker, Client Success Manager, walk us through a Vaya Assessment Center using Absorb, our new platform provider.

The vast wasteland of coaching has many accidental positive outcomes and many well-planned but ineffective ones, too. Some coaching gurus advocate a “say no evil, hear no evil, see no evil” hands-off approach while others advocate an up-in-your-grill drill sergeant style or a personal life coach who can roll out your yoga mat while you meditate on life’s more transcendental states. It’s the free market, so things […] - [Bringing Your True Self to Work: A Conversation with Anthony Papini](https://vayagroup.com/bringing-your-true-self-to-work-a-conversation-with-anthony-papini/): By Jeremy Watson, Ph.D., LMFT Managing Consultant and Certified Executive Coach, Vaya Group In a revealing conversation, Anthony Papini, head of DEI at ActiveCampaign, shares his profound insights on authenticity and inclusion in the workplace.

Now, it’s about bringing your whole self to work, ensuring you can be professional without hiding who you are. For instance, the new […] - [Succession Management Isn’t Just for the C-Suite](https://vayagroup.com/succession-management-isnt-just-for-the-c-suite/): Uncover pivotal trends shaping leadership and development By Paul Eccher, Ph.D., President and CEO, Vaya Group We would be worried about any company that doesn’t have a strategic business plan. Yet we often find organizations that don’t have a strategic succession plan. Beyond serving as a good business practice, several other factors require leaders to take a closer look at their succession plans: Overall, succession management reduces the risk of losing a leader without having anyone ready to step in and be effective. Too often, companies start succession planning too late, leading to extraordinary costs. Looking at succession planning as a whole […] - [ Unlocking Your Coaching Excellence with AI Tools](https://vayagroup.com/unlocking-your-coaching-excellence-with-ai-tools/): By Jeremy Watson, Ph.D., LMFT Managing Consultant and Certified Executive Coach, Vaya Group As executive coaches, we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of AI in elevating coaching practices.

They anchor the team, guide the offense, make high-pressure decisions, and lead on and off the field. For the Green Bay Packers, grooming future quarterbacks has been essential to their long-term success. Recognized as masters of this craft, they have enjoyed an illustrious history marked by a succession of exceptional quarterbacks, including legends like Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers – each quarterback not only elevating the team during their tenure but […] - [The Global Refugee and IDP Crisis: How Can Americans Help in 2024?](https://vayagroup.com/the-global-refugee-and-idp-crisis-how-can-americans-help-in-2024/): By Mike Rakow, Psy.D.  As we reflect on world events, we have an opportunity to better understand the current  state of refugees and internally displaced people (IDP) crises worldwide. We can make a difference if we educate ourselves on these issues, understand their relevance to the United States, and consider ways in which we might contribute to humanitarian efforts.  Current State of Global Displacement  The scale of global displacement has reached unprecedented levels. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR, 2024a), the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide has surpassed 114 million as of 2023, with projections indicating an […] - [Let Go of Resolutions and Try Something Much Gentler!](https://vayagroup.com/let-go-of-resolutions-and-try-something-much-gentler/): By C.C. Cameron, PhD, MBASenior Managing Consultant  As the calendar flips to a new year, many of us find ourselves caught in the familiar cycle of New Year’s resolutions — those nagging promises to eat healthier, work out more, or finally tackle that daunting project. But, let’s face it, they often feel more like a chore than an opportunity for real change. The constant “shoulding” — “I should exercise more,” “I should spend more time with family,” “I should be better at self-care” — can make resolutions feel wearisome and even guilt-inducing, rather than motivating. But what if there’s a gentler […] - [Bridging Generations: Tailoring Leadership Training to Meet Diverse Needs](https://vayagroup.com/bridging-generations-tailoring-leadership-training-to-meet-diverse-needs/): By Amy Walker,Vayability Client Success Manager  In today’s multi-generational workforce, effective leadership training must be adaptable to the unique learning preferences of each generation.

As the crew watched their ship get trapped in the ice, then crushed, then sunk, Captain Shackleton set up a camp they named Patience. He set a regular routine to keep the 28 men from losing hope in what certainly must have seemed an impossibly hopeless crisis.   Steadiness in a crisis defines great leaders.   During the pandemic, we all saw a master class in leadership.

While overt toxicity is undeniably harmful, even managers with the best intentions who lack specific leadership skills can inadvertently derail the employee experience. For instance, managers who struggle with effective communication may unintentionally create confusion, frustration, or a sense of disconnect among their team members. Those who lack empathy or emotional intelligence may not recognize employee needs, leading to decreased morale and job satisfaction. Additionally, managers who are unable […] - [Empowering the Future of Leadership: Vaya's Career Coaching Volunteer Project](https://vayagroup.com/empowering-the-future-of-leadership-vayas-career-coaching-volunteer-project/): By Jeremy Watson, Ph.D., LMFT  At Vaya, our commitment to making leaders better is not just a mission; it’s a practice we live by.
