How to Create an Executive Development Program For Your Organization (Session #2)
By the time your high potential talent is approaching senior level leadership positions, they have been through a considerable amount of formal schooling and supplemental training. When you invest in your future executives and send them to a development program, do they return saying it was “life changing”? Are they are moved to tears because their experience was so powerful? If you answered no, you are not alone.
It is more common to hear little if anything about what someone learned and how they will use it to benefit your business. When this happens, it puts your future development dollars at risk and can hurt the performance of your organization in the long run.
Join me as I share the secrets to creating and delivering an experience for high potential leaders that is so powerful it creates lasting behavior change and achieves benefits that far eclipses your investment!
