Workshop 3 (half day)
High-Impact Leadership Development Systems
Presenters: Eric D. Elder, Bank of America
Gail Wise, Right Management Consultants
Coordinator: Shane Douthitt, Bank of America
Leadership development interventions have the potential to make significant contributions to both individual and organizational effectiveness. What differentiates programs that fail to deliver results from those that have high impact? This workshop will explore the common characteristics that contribute to either success or failure of leadership development interventions, as well as techniques for successful design, implementation, and sustainment. Presenters will leverage case studies, exercises, and workshop participants own experiences to bring the discussion to life. This workshop should be of interest to practitioners who are responsible for designing or implementing leadership development interventions in any type of organization, either as an internal or external consultant.
This workshop is designed to help participants:
- Apply critical success factors that lead to high-impact leadership development systems
- Implement tools and techniques to ensure program effectiveness
- Apply illustrations of successful leadership development programs
- Use lessons-learned and best practices
