As an HR professional, have you been tasked with the leadership development function? Not so very long ago HR and leadership were not mentioned in the same sentence. Now this critical Organizational Development activity is taken on by HR either by choice, by frustration or by decree.

This presentation will highlight the numerous options organizations have at their disposal to strengthen leadership capacity and some of the best practices of employers from all sectors with various financial means. The presentation will also focus not only on the various combinations of specific leadership development initiatives but how to make the programs stick in such a way that employers invest long term in building leadership talent.

This session would appeal to HR professionals, business leaders, managers, administrators, business owners, consultants, students and union leadership.
