High Potential Program
Hello & Welcome to
the High Potential Program
LG Energy Solution Michigan (LGESMI) is excited to announce a high potential program that will invest in the future leaders of LGESMI through accelerated development, including off-sites, workshops, and international travel. It will also build a collaborative team to solve real business challenges.
What is a HiPo?
“High potentials consistently and significantly outperform their peer groups in a variety of settings and circumstances. While achieving these superior levels of performance, they exhibit behaviors that reflect their companies’ culture and values in an exemplary manner. Moreover, they show a strong capacity to grow and succeed throughout their careers within an organization—more quickly and effectively than their peer groups do.”
–Harvard Business Review
A HiPo is found at the intersection of three key markers: aspiration, ability, engagement.
Aspiration
To rise to more challenging and senior roles
Ability
To be successful in more challenging and senior roles
Engagement
To commit to the organization and remain in challenging and senior roles
High Performers = High Ability
