F52: How to Assess, Develop and Train Your Next Generation of Leaders
*This conference session requires registration and payment.
One of the most critical times in any company’s existence is the transfer of power from one generation to the next. Yet, all too often, this process is undertaken without good planning or foresight. This lack of planning can have dire consequences for your organization’s future success. This interactive session will help participants take a balcony view of how they go about assessing, coaching, and training their next generation of leaders. Ms. Clark will introduce a researched behavioral model to help participants better understand the sometimes-confusing behavior of younger team members. She will provide insight into how to assess talent on your team, identify those with emotional intelligence, and motivate future leaders.
