Developing Leadership Talent

The global response to the pandemic has highlighted the criticality of leadership in all sectors of society and raises fundamental questions about how we sustain and develop our future leaders to face an ever-turbulent global environment. The human experience in the workplace has been radically transformed; demanding that organisations ask profound questions about their very purpose. Clearly leadership matters, since it is the foundation of all success in every organisation and far too critical to leave to chance. We therefore see an emerging trend to create the “architectural structures” that provide meaningful experiences that re-energise existing leadership, whilst truly preparing a new breed of leadership for the emerging disruptive landscape. Such practices seek “leadership by design”; a development process that elevates leadership as the core ingredient to organisational sustainability.  

This Developing Leadership Talent training course will examine global trends and the essentials of good practice. It offers delegates rich opportunities to examine and reflect on their personal leadership performance, through competency assessments and diagnostic psychometrics, whilst reviewing current research into the challenges facing leaders.  Objectives are both personal and holistic, offering clarity into the essential’s skills of leadership and evaluating current performance, but in the wider domain, exploring the design features and core elements of leadership development programmes tailored for the post-covid era.
