Post-Conference Workshops:

Future Proof Your Business – A New Lens on Leadership Development
May 10, 2013

Leadership Development can be the catalytic force that propels strategy out of the boardroom and into the field, but do we truly take advantage of it? For many years, leadership development has focused on what leaders need to “do”—the competencies they need to demonstrate to effectively lead a business to success. While this is important, Korn/Ferry International’s research and experience indicate an overwhelming need to develop what leaders need to “be”–the underlying characteristics that support the ability to lead with purpose and adapt to the VUCA world, where the scope of work is increasingly complex and specific competency requirements change rapidly.

Join this hands-on, post-conference workshop to learn practical approaches and tools for developing what leaders need to “be” to sustain high levels of business performance amidst changing business environments. Become familiar with Korn/Ferry Learning Agility research and principles from the recently published “Pause Principle,” while discovering a future-proofed leadership model you can apply to develop leaders that are:

• Vital: able to maintain focus longer, demonstrate clearer judgment, and make better decisions
• Agile: able to succeed in ambiguous, challenging, and first-time situations
• Self-Aware: able to understand and leverage individual strengths while managing weaknesses
• Authentic: able to demonstrate optimism, transparency, future-focus, resilience and ethical behavior
• Participate in this engaging workshop and walk away with new approaches to develop your leaders and a new perspective on professional development
