Organizations depend upon capable leadership to guide them through unprecedented changes. We believe the Financial turmoil that we are currently observing has something to do with leadership, and that if we don’t change our current approach to leadership development, we will see even more of the same.

Surveys of CEO’s show that CEO’s believe the one factor that will determine their fate is “the quality of their leadership talent”. Yet many top executives bemoan the lack of leadership bench strength in their companies. Can we count on the next generation of leaders to step up once they are in position? Or are we seeing evidence of a talent gap that cannot be closed and will result in even greater numbers of high-profile failures?

Without proper leadership, even the best and boldest strategies die on the vine, their potential never realized. This Masterclass will focus on how to make the transition from management to leadership in the modern organization; How to deal with the diverse expectations of the modern organization; how to lead a multi- generational workforce and how to separate important information from the masses of data that confront us every day so that we can make effective and evidence based decisions.
