Visionary leaders today consider succession planning or developing the leadership pipeline as one of the keys to sustaining success. Companies also benefit from an emerging leader program because they are asking their best and brightest to “do more with less.” However, emerging markets, such as China, are especially vulnerable as these new leaders are required to perform with an expanded scope of responsibilities quickly. To guard against the risk of failure, top companies are in great need to identify real leadership talent and provide necessary elements to support these new leaders and accelerate their successful development.
Accurately Identifying Emerging Leaders
Presented by Dr. Dirk Baxter
Many companies waste money “fixing” leaders who should never have been selected in to a high level position. In the process of identifying emerging leaders, mistakes in selection are common as many who were once brilliant individual contributors fail when promoted to managing others. Key points are:
♦ Determining by what criteria companies should select high-potentials and emerging leaders
♦ Aligning the HR system: the "emerging leader program" as one of the retention and performance development tools
♦ Weighting selection options for identifying leadership potentials
♦ Properly on-boarding future leaders
Accelerating the Development of Emerging Leaders
Presented by Dr. Karen Steadman
Karen will share her expertise in designing and implementing programs to assist in accelerating the development of today’s new and emerging leaders. She will introduce models, case studies and outline training and coaching strategies that rapidly prepare leaders for their next critical role. Topics include
♦ Simulated experiences and feedback
♦ Intense and meaningful training with peers
♦ Live action learning projects to drive business results
♦ Job shadowing and sabbaticals
Join us to this "Unleashing Potential" event to share your ideas. We are looking forward to an enjoyable and informative evening with you. We hope you can make it.
