Post-Conference Workshops:

Developing Agile Leaders for Long-term Organizational Success
May 5, 2011

Registration and Luncheon for Workshop Attendees 12:30–1:15 pm

Workshop 1:15–4:15 pm

Leaders of today and tomorrow need to be better than the leaders they replace because the challenges are greater, the speed faster, the competition tougher, and the marketplace increasingly global. In short, the leaders of today and tomorrow must be agile leaders, resourceful in the face of change, and above all, able to learn from experience. People with this ability perform well under first-time, challenging conditions. These people are learning agile. Through participation in this highly interactive session, you will:

• Discuss learning agility’s role in identifying high potentials
• Explore the latest research in learning agility
• Assess your own learning agility
• Uncover best practices in applying learning agility to leadership development and succession planning

This hands-on workshop will feature interactive discussion, thought-provoking group and individual exercises, and peer collaboration. Participants will gain insights into research based, experience-tested strategies for identifying and developing potential in current and future leaders.
