GENERAL SESSION A

Building and Influencing a Vision & Culture of Talent Stewardship through Inclusion

It’s been said, that leaders should spend about 40 percent of their time building relationships and sourcing talent. Yet, most spend a fraction of that time on the very task that can move their workplace forward. Creating and executing on strategic inclusion requires a culture that supports the tactical approaches to change. This seminar defines what is meant by a culture of talent stewardship and provides tips and strategies for creating an institutional culture where people can be successful.
