Background of the programme:
Members of The Conference Board are among the most experienced and savvy executives in the world. Their private deliberations in our councils produce rich insights on the most challenging business and societal issues of our time. With their permission, we have channeled their energy and expertise into a platform to voice their views – that platform has resulted in the report Go Where There be Dragons: Leadership Essentials for 2020 and Beyond.
The makings of this report and subsequent leadership programme involved over 100 senior human resources executives from seven of The Conference Board leadership development, learning, talent management, and diversity and inclusion Councils. Meetings were held across three continents to discuss the challenges facing present and future leaders in an increasingly complex, high-speed, and ambiguous world.
The Gold Medal Leadership Experience reflects the discussions, concerns, and conclusions of those Council members, all respected executives in their fields, who are charged with getting the right people in the right seats to ensure the future competitiveness and success of their organisations. It defines the global forces that are redefining the structure of leadership and the essential skills and behaviours that will define an effective 21st century leader.
