High flyers

Employees who, due to their high potential, benefit from specific programs to nurture their skills with a view to occupying positions with greater decision-making power in the near future within the company. According to a Deloitte study, the fundamental characteristic of these individuals is that they seek to grow much faster than others in a company, thanks to personality factors (such as self-control and a taste for risk) and their reasoning skills.

Unlike a High Performer, a High Flyer possesses accelerated vertical growth potential:

• Personality Factors: High level of self-control, resilience, and a natural predisposition toward calculated risk.
• Reasoning Skills: Superior ability to connect complex concepts and anticipate future scenarios.

Identifying a High Flyer is only the first step; the real challenge is their retention. As they seek dynamic and fast-developing environments, these profiles require:

• Personalized Career Plans: Clear itineraries that satisfy their need for progression.
• Senior Management Mentoring: Direct exposure to current leaders to nurture their strategic vision.
• Specific Upskilling Programs: Advanced training in leadership skills and decision-making in uncertain environments.
