Research Trends:  What Execs Want from their Leadership Bench

Facilitated by Janet Walker, J. Walker & Associates

Do you sometimes feel out of alignment with what your executive team is needing from your development activities?  Are they looking at your activities as a cost versus an investment?  How do you start to understand what they need and how to use language that is meaningful to them?

During our conversation: 

• we'll talk about the business results and trends executives are discussing and help us use the same language that connects and align business results with human performance and organizational culture.
• we'll see a few competency frameworks that are used for different levels of leadership to help align different levels of performance.
• we’ll discuss strategies we are using in our organizations that are helping us know and be clear that we are part of the conversations and gaining the confidence of our leaders.

Participants will leave with a new/renewed awareness of how they are showing up with their executive teams and start strategizing how they can engage differently or stronger with their leadership teams to assure the executive team knows we are working for business results.
