What is different for today’s leaders? • Rapid change • New technology • Constant scrutiny • Short termism • International • 5. This is not one thing! • Vision • Strategy • People • Resources • Decisions • Change • Results etc What is on your agenda?
Today’s Programme • Stephen Dando – fully integrated with business process improvement and an over approach to Talent. • David Burnham – large database; motives not behaviour. It is data-driven. • Jonathan Crookall – Leadership Development in an entrepreneurial culture. • Justin Dunn – a top-to-bottom approach in a change management situation. • Your role: • Challenge • Support • Provide alternatives • Offer insights • Give examples of your success • No answers but an opportunity to hear, debate, question, reflect and synthesise.
Group Discussion Define an audit tool for effective leadership development. What source data do you need, what approach to learning do you take and how do you evaluate? What is the learning theory upon which your activities are based? Define a framework that would be suitable for assessing the contribution of today’s scheduled content. The CRF checklist (on the back of the sheet) may be helpful. Please complete this work in an hour.
