Abstract
The fast‐food giant played catch‐up after unprecedented top management turnover drew down its pool of high‐potential “ready now” leaders. By aggressively focusing on talent management and leadership development, the company now has a tempting selection of accelerated leadership development programs for high potentials, and is rapidly building bench strength around the globe. The evolution of its efforts began with its first leadership competency model and the integration of key talent processes. Regional, functional, and global leadership development initiatives soon followed, along with a rigorous companywide talent planning process. The company is now turning its attention to high potential talent at lower organizational levels. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
