One of the top issues companies are tackling today is the readiness of new leaders as they join the leadership ranks and contribute to the success of the organization. As leaders can significantly impact people’s performance, developing the kind of leader whom people are drawn to follow is crucial. For this to happen, leaders must understand how integrity, resiliency, and courage are critical to the leadership role and be willing to put aside their own insecurities to inspire the people they lead. Your role as a training and development professional is central to developing the quality of leaders your company needs.

In this webinar, we will help you sharpen your perspective on the critical skill set and mindset required of today’s leaders. We will share with you a framework to help you assess how you are addressing these two core leadership components in your development efforts. 

Specifically, in this session, you will:

• Identify the critical attributes of character-based leadership
• Understand the source of leadership resiliency
• Review your development efforts against an integrated leadership framework
