Few publications examine how high-potential leaders are developed and the effectiveness of these methods. Scholars and practitioners may employ different evaluation criteria,contributing to a gap between knowledge generation and application. In this study,I sought to analyze scholarly and practitioner literature to summarize perceived best practices in training and developing high-potential leaders. I conducted a systematic review of 1,706 potential references that I reduced to 40,which I narratively synthesized and then identified key themes. I found 5 core conditions outlined in the literature for the development of leaders: alignment with organizational strategy,management involvement,a supportive organizational culture,integrated talent management processes,and an aim for "best fit." Succession planning should be congruent with high-potential processes. Leadership development should comprise experiential learning,with mentoring,coaching,networking,and feedback also utilized. I recommend that organizations adhere to core conditions when developing their high potentials following the 70:20:10 principle of development. Future research should further explore the academic-practitioner divide by examining best practice organizations； empirically evaluating the effectiveness of development processes is critical. Developing a common understanding surrounding key concepts and research into underlying constructs is also of value.
