The Bavarian savings banks have set up the so-called Top Potential Program as part of their talent management with the aim of identifying and developing potential candidates for board positions. In the leadership development program, motives and competencies of executives are diagnosed and developed through appropriate feedback and training interventions. The basic assumption is that long-term leadership success depends crucially on the will and ability of a leader. The basis for the Top Potential Program is the scientifically validated competency model LEaD for effective leadership (Leadership Effectiveness and Development) and insights from the motivation research on the leadership motive pattern.
