The Secret to Solving the Skills Shortage - Hiring for Potential

People aspire to be leaders, but it is a difficult place to be. Today, leaders are not only expected to run the organisation, but also drive inevitable change. However, research has revealed that only 14% of CEOs believe that they have the leadership talent needed to grow their businesses (BuiltIn, 2021). 

This, coupled with a whopping 79% of employees stating that they will leave their jobs due to a lack of appreciation from leaders (Forbes, 2018), indicates that there is a lack of development and support network for leaders to be successful and by extension, their organisation to be successful too. 

In this webinar, we offer practical insights into the pain points of leadership within organisations and how C suite executives, HR, and Learning and Development professionals can supercharge their leadership’s development!

- The impact of leadership development programmes and how to measure them 
- Key actions you can implement within your organisation today
