Introduction<\/h2>\n

Organizations have long placed their leaders in stretch assignments to prepare them for larger roles, intentionally creating a \u201ctrial by fire\u201d \u2014 or \u201cheat experience\u201d \u2014 to develop their top talent. Getting the temperature right and providing leaders with support to endure the heat are both critical, though, because uncontrolled heat negatively impacts engagement and retention.<\/p>\n

Businesses that misdiagnose heat levels and misalign their support are at risk of losing top talent. In fact, if your organization isn\u2019t having conversations about how heat is impacting your leaders, some of them may already be headed toward burnout.<\/p>\n

But harnessed well, heat accelerates learning, creating an opportunity for big leaps in how your people respond to uncertainty and complexity. In fact, some organizations are even boldly replicating heat as development opportunities to provide a \u201csafe space\u201d for leaders and teams to practice their leadership and collaboration skills under pressure.<\/p>\n

In this paper, you\u2019ll learn best practices for providing adequate support to talent that\u2019s experiencing heat, and you\u2019ll discover ways to simulate heat in a safe-to-fail environment \u2026 because heat-tolerant, resilient workers are the ones best equipped to lead your organization into the future.<\/p>\n
