April Chapter Meeting with Joanne Eckton

Make Your Team Great: Leadership Development Strategies that Really Work

Event Description

An organization is its workforce: A business can only be as successful as the people it hires. Yet, 84% of employees say they could perform significantly better if they wanted to.

According to a Deloitte study, leadership remains the No. 1 talent issue facing organizations around the world, with 85% of companies in our survey rating it as “urgent” or “important.” But only 14% of companies say they do an excellent job developing global leaders.

Clearly, we have a challenge ahead of us to build the kind of leadership needed for the future.

Through this presentation, we will discuss the actions potential leaders need to take to:

• Gain the confidence to step out into a more visible leadership role
  
• Foster innovation, collaboration and trust
  
• Change the dynamics of the team from surviving to thriving
  
• Build a personal brand as a respected leader
