A perfect storm is upon us. And it’s a storm we created. After years of budget slashing, cost control, and cutting training/mentoring programs, the Baby Boomers that couldn’t afford to retire are finally heading to warmer climates. Now it’s time for Next Gen leaders to step in, define the strategy, and create a vision for the future. But they’re not ready. In this presentation, we use research from the 2014 Trends in Executive Development Report as a back-drop for exploring the causes and impact of the expanding skills gap for next generation leaders. Participants will learn: • The top development priorities across organizations • Major competency gaps of next generation leaders • Which activities are most likely to accelerate development • How their organization compares to other top companies • 7 critical competencies for success in leadership Attendees will also receive a free copy of the 2014 Trends in Executive Development Report ($135 value) and a copy of the best-selling book Now You’re Thinking!
