Once hidden potential is identified, leaders must take steps to develop it:
1. Training and Development: Investing in targeted training and professional development programs can help employees enhance their skills and realize their full potential. 2. Empowerment: Empowering employees by giving them more responsibility and autonomy can foster growth and confidence. 3. Stretch Assignments: Assigning challenging projects or roles that push employees out of their comfort zones can reveal and develop latent abilities. 4. Recognition and Rewards: Recognizing and rewarding achievements encourages further development and motivates others to uncover and utilize their hidden potential.
