Leaders Growing Leaders

Building Your Organization by Developing Leaders-At Every Level
Overview

This seminar prepares you for a central task and test of leadership: growing other leaders. Developing new, imaginative approaches to managing succession is critical to successful human capital management, which is drawing increasing Presidential and congressional focus, and is included in the General Accounting Office’s high-risk list of Federal activities. The impending retirement of a large component of senior executives over the next few years is intensifying this interest.

Leaders Growing Leaders is designed to help you understand the leadership gap and to develop innovative approaches to improve the situation in your organization. It draws on years of research that clearly demonstrate that leaders are primarily grown, formally and informally, through challenging job-based experiences and interaction with senior leaders.
