Behind every successful organization is a great team of leaders. But despite billions of dollars spent each year on leadership development programs most companies are still failing their next generation of emerging leaders. In fact, according to Gallup, 50% of attrition is due to poor managers––which makes that the biggest driver of employee disengagement. So why are leadership development programs failing? And how can we fix it? Join us for a live webinar where we discuss reasons these programs fail and how to keep your leadership development on track. We’ll explore: How to identify who should be a leader in the first place The big, pervasive problem with leadership development What to do with great employees who might not be cut out for management The best traits to bring out of your emerging leaders And more!
