How can you identify budding leaders within your organization?

Hiring for a leadership position can be much easier with an internal candidate pool. That's why it's so important for leaders and HR departments to learn how to spot the seeds of leadership when someone is hired at a lower-level position so they can focus on developing that person's skills for the future.
