Webinar - Maximizing the value of a leadership development experience

I gave a webinar on Friday, November 10th, 2023 on the topic of how executives and leaders can maximize the value of a leadership development experience.

In the session, I described several types of leadership programs, as well as the profiles of typical participants, and the kinds of assessments most often used; I also outlined the steps involved in an individualized leadership development program - involving assessment, feedback, development planning, and coaching - and suggested ways leaders can prepare for and gain the most benefit from each step.
