Let’s guess what you’re thinking. “We’ve got this covered.” “We know who our future leaders are.” “They’re already doing great work.”

And you’re not wrong. You probably do have a few names that immediately come to mind. The ones who step up without being asked. The ones who connect dots faster than others. The ones who don’t have direct reports, but somehow still influence the room. They’re capable. Driven. Trusted.

You’ve labeled them high potential. That’s not the issue. The issue is what usually happens next.

You have strong people. The dependable ones. The employees who know the job, get the work done, and lead by example. The people you trust to step up when the time comes. So when someone leaves or moves into a new role, it feels like the obvious next step to promote from within. You’ve seen the potential. You’ve watched them succeed. You make the move.

And then something shifts.
Momentum slows. Team communication feels off. Feedback gets avoided. You start hearing concerns that never came up before. The new leader, the one you were confident in, suddenly seems unsure of what comes next. You find yourself stepping in to offer guidance, troubleshoot issues, and coach through conversations they should have been ready to lead. Not because they’re a bad fit. But because they weren’t ready.

Picture this scenario: People at work are unengaged. You can feel your direct reports whispering about you around the water cooler. Sometimes you feel walked on. And your team thinks that they can get away with anything…because you won’t do anything about it. Does any of this sound familiar?
