Introduction
Dicult times call for bold leadership. As companies and economies everywhere struggle in the midst of theglobal economic crisis, leadership continues to emerge as a key dierentiator.
Only those companies with the strongest leadership practices will weather the storm. In fact, most organisationsstill cant nd or develop leaders fast enough to address the multitude of challenges facing their companies andtheir people.
The global crisis of condence in leadership is growing in parallel with the economic downturn. Condence inthose at the top of our institutions has never been lower.
Yet organisations with strong, credible leadership that implement an eective strategy for developing futureleaders are still succeeding, even growing.
Actual tactics are as diverse and varied as the workforces the top leaders are inspiring, but certain fundamentalobservations hold true across the board.

OverviewofTheTopCompaniesforLeadersStudy
Study Methodology
Study Methodology
The study has been conducted in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009, and the research has provided thefoundation for our more comprehensive 2011 global study. In 2011, over 450 companies participated inNorth America, Europe, Asia-Pacic, and Latin America, each completing a detailed questionnaire. From thosesubmissions, nalists were identied and hundreds of interviews were conducted with senior executives using aconsistent methodology and global rollup.
The research enables the comparison of talent management practices of the best companies around the globeon literally thousands of data points. It provides valuable intelligence for all organisations seeking to improveleadership capabilities regardless of sophistication or size. Past participants have said that simply completing thequestionnaire was thought provoking and resulted in new ideas and insights. In our analysis, we have found that
dierences between the Top Companies and the rest can be quite dramatic.
The Top Companies for Leaders study is conducted by Aon Hewitt, the global leader in HR consulting andoutsourcing solutions, in partnership with The RBL Group, a strategic HR and leadership systems advisoryrm, and FORTUNE.
Eligibility for Regional and Global Top Companies Lists
All organisations were eligible to participate in the survey process. However, global organisations were eligiblefor the list only in the region in which theyre headquartered. Subsidiaries of publicly traded companies wereeligible for the list if they were publicly traded, separate from their parent company. Subsidiaries of non-publiclytraded parent companies were eligible only if they had a separate board of directors.
How the Top Companies Were Selected
Aon Hewitt and our research partners, FORTUNE and The RBL Group, invited HR executives from around theworld to participate in the Top Companies for Leaders Study in early 2011. Study participation was open toorganisations of any type (e.g., public, private, non-prot), size (employees and revenue), and location.
From those invitations, 478 companies from around the globe took part in the study. Participating companiescompleted a detailed 72-item questionnaire examining the factors inuencing both the depth and qualityof leadership. Aon Hewitt analysed all entries for responses consistent with strong leadership practices andidentied 182 global nalists. Each nalist company completed in depth interviews to provide greater clarity and
precision around their specic leadership practices. In addition to the HR and senior executive interviews, we

interviewed CEOs in a majority of the nalist companies. Aon Hewitt scored company survey data by assigningpoints to questions and responses, yielding both category-specic and overall scores. In addition, Aon Hewittscreened all nalist companies for nancial performance relative to their industry.
An esteemed panel of judgescomposed of authors, academics, and journalistsconvened in each region toselect and rank a 2011 Top Companies for Leaders list in Asia-Pacic, Europe, Latin America, and North America.
The judges considered many variables in selecting and ranking the lists, including survey and interview data,leadership programmes and practices, culture and values, company reputation, and business performance overa three year period. Finally, a separate judges panel, composed of one representative from each regional panel,considered all regional Top Companies to select and rank the Global Top Companies for Leaders list.
In Europe, 7 organisations have been recognised as Top Companies for Leaders.

WhatdierentiatesTopCompaniesforLeadersinEurope
Top Companies understand and execute the fundamentals of good leadership very well. Placing a high priority
on these initiatives, implementing them diligently and being persistent regarding them is what truly dierentiatesTop Companies from other organisations.
They are:
n Committed to building leaders throughout the organisation- Leadership as a strategic imperative- Thinking long-term
n Comprehensive in their practices and execution- Building a talent factory- Individual and personal development circle: Listening, Learning and Leading
n Connected to talent and culture- The connection factor- Communication extends Top Companies lead in leadership- Fundamental leadership competencies
n Culturally agile and engaged in diversity- Building leaders who act locally but think globally- Engaged in diversity
n Disciplined about measuring
Each of these strategies is examined in more detail below. Data from the 2011 Top Companies for Leaders studyis provided, where applicable. The gures in parentheses indicate the percentage of European Top Companies
that provided a certain response versus the percentage of other European participants in the study that did notachieve Top Company status.
Committed to building leaders throughout their organisation
Leadershipasastrategicimperative
Top Companies for Leaders perceive the critical importance of leadership. With no exception, they havearticulated a clear business case for investing in leadership as a strategic imperative (100% of Top Companiesvs. 74% of other participants). Their CEOs declare leadership strategy as an undisputed #1 leadership activity(71% vs. 46%).
Drilling down further, to a very high extent, Top Companies have specic strategies for leadership practices inplace (Graph 1).

Moreover, Top Companies link these leadership strategies to the overall business strategy. (Graph. 2)
Graph 2: Practices linked to business strategy
Top Companies state that their CEO (57% vs. 17%) and Board of Directors (29% vs. 2%) spend a highpercentage their time and eort directly on leadership activities like succession planning, coaching and talentreviews. This high involvement has a signicant impact, particularly in terms of leadership development. Whilst38% of other organisations struggle with a lack of accountability for developing leaders, only a small percentage(14%) of Top Companies are facing this issue.
Top Companies are clearly committed to leadership. In fact, 86% of Top Companies hold leaders accountable,through their compensation, for developing their direct reports (vs. 33% at other participating organisations).

Comprehensive in their practices and execution
Buildingatalentfactory
Top Companies are less restrictive than other companies in their denitions of talent and high potential. Thisopenness of mind and broad approach mark a consistent quality of all Top Companies for Leaders. They start
with the identication of high potentials: when seeking future leaders, Top Companies do not limit themselvesto senior management, but also include middle and front line management.
Regarding their investment in leaders, all Top Companies state that their organisation is committed to investingin leaders at all levels of the business (vs. 75% of other organisations) and in all geographies in which theyoperate (vs. 80% of others).
As a result, Top Companies have been able to grow their talent pipelines (Graph 5) to be successful in the future.
Graph 5: Sucient talent pipeline
In building their leadership pipeline, none of the Top Companies sees a lack of required skills/experience amongtheir existing talent poolwhereas more than a quarter of other organisations do see a lack of skills (26%).
This climate of openness prevalent amongst Top Companies is also apparent in their dealing with highpotentials: 71% state that their high potentials are aware of their status (vs. 45% at other companies).Consequently, Top Companies tend to more strongly dierentiate pay between high potential and non-highpotential employees than it is the case at other organisations (43% vs. 19%).

Individualandpersonaldevelopmentcircle:Listening,LearningandLeading
Leadership (education and development) at Top Companies is not a one-way street, but an interactive process.Top Companies live this attitude right from the beginning of the employment relationship. They have anonboarding process in place for new to organisation (100% vs. 67%) and new to role (86% vs. 48%)leaders, and set aside enough time for the onboarding process (7 months vs. 4 months).
Whilst other companies focus primarily on formal training for leaders who are new to the organisation (43% atTop Companies vs. 75% at others) and those new to their role (17% vs. 43%), Top Companies follow a moreindividual and personal approach. They focus on clear expectation setting (100% vs. 67%) and rely heavily oncoaching and mentoring (83% vs. 58%).
Leadership education
Regarding leadership education practices, Top Companies again follow a more individual and personal approachthroughout all levels of management and appoint their leaders as teachers to a considerable extent (Graph 6).

At other companies, special projects are the foremost practice in assignment-based development. TopCompanies prefer developmental assignments matched to the specic developmental needs of leaders at alllevels of management.
Besides developmental and global assignments, Top Companies regard the rst opportunity to move into a keyposition as the most eective practice in leadership development (50% vs. 9%). And Top Companies star t early:
they actively drive this developmental step for their high potentials (86% vs. 28%).
With respect to relationship-based development practices, Top Companies are also more active than othercompanies. These initiatives include coaching and mentoring by internal and external providers, exposure andvisibility to the Board and CEO, as well as structured opportunities for networking.
These dierent approaches to leadership development adopted by Top Companies have a signicant impacton their ability to build a robust leadership pipeline: none of the Top Companies is struggling due to inecientmentoring programmes (vs. 28% of other organisations) or ineective development of high potentials (vs. 20%of others).
Feedback
Feedback completes the circle of Listening Learning Leading. Top Companies live a more pronouncedfeedback culture, starting with onboarding. All of the Top Companies use participants feedback to measurethe eectiveness of their onboarding process, while 77% do so at other organisations. Similarly, all of the TopCompanies include Seek feedback in their competency model (vs. 77% at others). The majority of TopCompanies rate Manager feedback as the most important factor to determine strong leadership performance(71% vs. 24%), followed by How results are achieved (57% vs. 31%).
Connected to talent and culture
Theconnectionfactor
There is a palpable connection in these organisationstheir leaders walk the talk, they are passionate about theirrole as leaders of their organisation, and most importantly, they are zealous in their eorts to bring others along toshare in their excitement. As the lines between work and home continue to blur in our always on culture, a senseof purpose becomes paramount to ones work. As one CEO stated, Performance cannot be delivered withoutpurpose and purpose leads to performance. This connectedness impacts an organisations ability to thrive in thechanging business landscape. Top Companies understand this andmore importantlythey embrace it.
The connected factor is evident in the way leaders coach, mentor, and develop talent. These leaders workto understand who their talents are, what inspires them, and their aspirations. Senior-most leaders in TopCompanies are starting to embrace the personal side of leadership. By attending to the emotional aspects of theirpeople, they experience more energised and committed leaders. Its about fostering trust in people, trust in theculture, and having inuence. One CEO talks about the need for individuals to bring their whole self to work.
Its clear that the personal side of leadership is critical to setting the tone for an organisations internal culture.Which values hold steadfast and what type of behaviour is expected comes from leaders acting as role models,consistently inspiring their employees, through day-to-day work. Leaders play the primary role in shapingthe internal brandor employer value propositionthat dierentiates a culture and drives the attraction andretention of the right leadership talent.

CommunicationextendsTopCompaniesleadinleadership
Top Companies are strongly committed to leadership, live this attitude and do not hesitate to communicateabout their commitment. All Top Companies state that they consciously strive to build a reputation for strongleadership (others 57%). See Graph 9 for their ve most prevalent activities in this regard.
Graph 9: Eorts to build reputation for leadership
As proof of the eectiveness of their eorts, Top Companies cited media coverage (57% vs. 21%) andparticipation in benchmarking studies (43% vs. 21%). As a result of their communication eorts, 100% of TopCompanies state they are successful or very successful in attracting the quality of leadership talent they needto thrive (others 60%). But Top Companies still see room for improvement in communication: 29% say clarityaround career opportunities could be improved in order to attract high quality leaders (others 69%).
Fundamentalleadershipcompetencies
Top Companies believe in the strength of competencies: 100% utilise a dened leadership competency modelor other formal description of high performing leadership (vs. 78% at other organisations).

Culturally agile and engaged in diversity
Buildingleaderswhoactlocallybutthinkglobally
Cultural agility is paramount to success. Leaders must think globally, but act locally. The Top Companies knowthis, and they are actively working to develop these capabilities. Diculty moving talent across functions
and geographic mobility limitations are among the dominant top three challenges organisations face indeveloping talent.
Top Companies not only recognise the importance of building leaders who can think globally but act locally,they also set up development practices and programmes specically geared toward removing barriers for themovement of talent, providing a variety of development opportunities and a wide portfolio of experiences.They realise that a diverse workforce beyond the traditional elements of gender and ethnicity, one thatembraces diversity of thought and experience, allows their leaders to ourish in an ever-growing,ever-changing workforce.
In fact, this type of think and act dierently innovation drives the diversity of experience that supports thesuccess of multiple cultures coming together in one workforce. In particular, cultural agility is a key driver of successin emerging markets. Leaders who think globally and are driven by their organisational values and culture are more
successful at navigating assignments and opportunities in various countries and cultures.
Engagedindiversity
Increasing the diversity of the leadership group is a formal part of the leadership strategy for all Top Companies(100% vs. 70%). They actively take steps to address broader leadership representation and increaserepresentation of leaders from outside the organisations headquarter country (100% vs. 47%). Furthermore,Top Companies are successful in increasing the representation of individuals with diverse experience and/orperspective in leadership positions (100% vs. 42%), as well as placing individuals in leadership positions early intheir careers, e.g., emerging leaders (71% vs. 34%).
By seeking and building a workforce as diverse as their customer base, global organisations are better
positioned to understand the needs of the cultures they support and are strategically positioned to grow. Theyintuitively focus on areas that support their organisational values and benet their operational environments.Women are not advancing to the executive ranks fast enough to meet the leadership needs of today ortomorrow. In nearly every developed or developing economy, the shortage of women leaders is critical. TopCompanies have recognised that without an adequate supply of capable and experienced women at the topand in the pipeline, they will fail.
Disciplined about measuring: Always challenging their own success
Top Companies could be content with their success in leadership education and development. They havesucient talent pipelines in place and do not need to make ad hoc decisions when it comes to succession. Butit seems to be their inherent nature to always add a question mark to their accomplishments, analysing resultsto learn from them and become even better. Measurement is a discipline consistently deployed throughoutthe whole leadership process. All Top Companies have specic criteria to measure their overall eectiveness inachieving strategic leadership objectives (vs. 78% of other organisations).
7/27/2019 Aon Hewitt TCFL EU Highlights
16/20
16 TCFL 2011 - European Research Highlights
Top Companies are most likely to use the following three standards to measure strategic leadership progress:achieving overall nancial results (100% vs. 83%), meeting nancial goals for growth (86% vs. 78%), andstrength of leadership pipeline (86% to 52%). This ranking clearly illustrates that eorts with respect toleadership are not considered in isolation; Top Companies link leadership strongly to business results.
Top Companies also use specic metrics to evaluate the eectiveness of their succession management process
(100% vs. 52%). The outcome that is regarded as most important to measure (100% vs. 64%) as well as mosteective for evaluating the succession management process is the number of job openings lled from thesuccession pool. Top Companies also cite the attrition rate from the succession pool as an important factor whenmeasuring the eectiveness of the succession management process (71% vs. 25%).
To evaluate the eectiveness of the high potential programme, 71% of Top Companies (others 45%) havespecic metrics, with performance ratings (100% vs. 76%) and percentage of high potentials placed in seniormanagement positions (100% vs. 54%) leading the way.
To evaluate the eectiveness of the leadership development process, 71% of Top Companies use specicmetrics (others 46%), the most commonly used is participant evaluation of learning programmes (100% vs.71%), which is rated as the most eective measure (60% vs. 17%).
Conclusion
Even the Top Companies recognise they are nowhere near the nish line and, it is their tenacity andcommitment to an evolving leadership system that keep them ever striving, ever succeeding, ever winning.Without this passion to continually raise the bar, their programmes and practices would become stagnant and,worse yet, irrelevant. The needs of people continue to evolve, and there is an ever-increasing desire to feel aconnection to their work, their purpose and their future. In an ever changing world, the need to be culturallyadaptive to the needs of customers, talent and shareholders will remain a key driver of success. Companies who
build programmes and practices that comprehensively evaluate the connection between the current and futureneeds of the organisation and execute strategically based on these parameters will truly benet from in returnsthat absolutely outweigh the risks.
