How to Build Your Leadership Pipeline
What is this course about?
Most 'failed' leadership pipelines aren't a talent problem — they're a process problem. This 2-day workshop for managers and HR personnel maps the 6 leadership passages from managing self through to values management, and names the common pipeline failures: wrong people, poor job definition, and lack of coaching. The result: HR teams with a structured plan for identifying and developing the right people at the right stage.
