  • Gain a better understanding of how your organization can better leverage the external labor market to identify and match the right leaders to critical roles at particular points in your organization’s growth and development to support your strategic priorities.
  • Learn how to develop and implement an integrated career management plan, using the tools and programs you have in place, and augment with others where needed.
  • Identify and practice essential leadership skills required to have meaningful and engaging career and professional development conversations with team members.
