Abstract

Abstract: Lewis Jr., a senior executive at Zoetis, a global animal health company, believes the success of a leader hinges on "the ability to attract, develop and retain talented people." In assessments for a position of greater responsibility, he looks at various factors, which involve a wide range of people: "In assessing my people, I look at their mind‐set, capabilities, and the consistency of their performance—and to that end, I also look at the quality of their team." He observes the rigor with which his team members develop their own teams, and points out that they "need to develop a robust and diverse talent pipeline lower in the organization, from which we can draw our next generation of leadership."
