Introducing Leadership Pathways At Harvest, we recognise that the future of leadership is defined not by job titles, but by the skills leaders demonstrate and develop throughout their careers. As organisations face ongoing change, growth, and complexity, leaders at every level need clear, skills-based development that supports both performance today and readiness for what comes next. Our Leadership Pathways Programmes provide intentional, skills-focused progression for leaders at every level - from Front Line to Executive, offering a clear pathway for sustainable leadership growth. Finding your Leadership Potential Identifying and nurturing leadership potential is essential for organisational success. Harvest’s Leadership Potential Model provides a practical, research-based framework to assess, develop and measure potential at all levels. It focuses on three core areas: • Intention: The drive and commitment to lead, including self-awareness, aspiration, values alignment, and perseverance
• Leadership Capability: Mindset, emotional intelligence, and relational skills to lead and grow others
• Operational Capability: The ability to deliver results, drive efficiency, and demonstrate business acumen

Senior High Potentials - Succession Programme Who: Senior Leaders who have been identified as high potential and who are expected to be capable of assuming enterprise or top-team leadership roles within the next two to three years.
