Our panelists will answer questions such as:
For what purposes should we develop leaders?
What are the elements of an effective leadership development program?
What works well and what hasn’t worked?
What’s new and valuable in the realm of strengths-based leadership, innovation and change leadership? …and what ought to be a passing fad?
Tonight’s panel discussion will tackle these challenging questions, and we’re inviting you to join us in the conversation.
Simon Sinek argued that we should start with “Why?” to develop a strong sense of purpose. Should we train leaders more on how to lead innovation, and where is that being done well? Stanford professor Jeffrey Pfeffer, in an incendiary article in McKinsey Quarterly argued that great leaders know how to use and abuse power in order to make good things happen and leadership development programs should stop being so “disconnected from reality.”
How should leadership development programs be structured? What works well and what hasn’t regarding the structure and learning delivery channels? For instance, online learning is the rage, but recent research shows that even millennials can overdose with online learning. What are the bones of a great leadership development program? What’s critical and what’s optional?
What’s working and what’s not with regard to the newer trends in leadership development? Our panelists will discuss their experiences with strengths-based leadership, training leaders to maximize innovation and other current topics.
