About This Webinar

“We want to be ready for the future, but don’t know how to prepare for what we can’t predict.”

As outlined in our new Talent Development Challenge Report, this is one of the quotes we hear most often from our clients. If your organization is like most, you’re keeping an eye on the headlines and thinking about the future, but preparing for the unknown feels impossible. You know bigger challenges are coming, and leaders and teams need to work together differently, but future-ready skills are difficult to identify — and harder still to develop.

Senior executives tell us they feel their leadership pipelines aren’t equipped to accomplish today’s priorities — much less tomorrow’s. The shortfall between current capabilities and forecasted leadership needs is called the leadership gap, and in today’s climate of instability and multiple interconnected crises, addressing it is more critical than ever. Steering the business through uncertainty requires not just leadership skills, but also building greater leadership capability — more sophisticated ways of thinking, increased perspective-taking, and leadership wisdom.

While you can’t prepare everyone for every scenario, you can help your leaders learn to think in bigger new ways. You need a protective scaffolding of development to elevate leaders across the board and secure your organization’s future. Join us to learn how building competencies and capabilities in a pipeline of adaptable leaders at every level is more straightforward than you might think — and more important now than ever.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • How to identify gaps in your organization’s leadership pipeline
  • Why vertical development is important for building leadership capability
  • How a strong pipeline of leaders leads to organizational success
