Abstract

Organizations invest over $166 billion annually in high-potential employees (HiPos), yet many programs fail to identify the right candidates, with failure rates up to 40%. This study addresses the misrecognition of HiPos, focusing on reluctance to lead (RTL) as a key factor. RTL can lead to competent individuals being overlooked. Moderate RTL can enhance leadership by promoting power-sharing and follower self-leadership, which is characterized by humility and a servant mentality. This registered report investigates whether HR professionals' HiPo selection biases against RTL harm leader effectiveness through three studies. We will develop and validate an RTL scale (Study 1), investigate the impact of RTL on HiPo selection (Study 2), and examine the relationship between RTL and leadership effectiveness (Study 3). By understanding RTL's role in misrecognition and its association with effective leadership, this research aims to diversify the HiPo pool, support reluctant leaders' development, and promote diversity and inclusion in leadership selection.

不要以一个人的不情愿来判断他

企业每年在高潜力员工（HiPos）上的投资超过1660亿美元，但许多项目未能找到合适的候选人，失败率高达40%。本研究解决了对HiPos的错误认识，重点是不愿领导（RTL）是一个关键因素。劳教可能导致有能力的人被忽视。适度的RTL可以通过促进权力分享和追随者自我领导来增强领导力，其特征是谦逊和仆人心态。本注册报告通过三项研究来探讨人力资源专业人员对RTL的HiPo选择偏见是否会损害领导效能。我们将开发和验证一个RTL量表（研究1），调查RTL对HiPo选择的影响（研究2），并检验RTL与领导有效性之间的关系（研究3）。通过了解RTL在误认中的作用及其与有效领导的关系，本研究旨在多样化HiPo池，支持不情愿领导者的发展，促进领导选择的多样性和包容性。
