Who Will Lead Us Next? Developing Your Leadership Pipeline

Regardless of the size of your organization, you need a picture of who will lead you in the future, and how you will prepare them for success. Traditionally this is described as a succession plan. Too frequently that plan is a name or list of names – which isn’t enough - and might not be what you need at all. Join us for an inspirational, interactive and practical with multi-time bestselling author Kevin Eikenberry, as we look at building more than a plan, but a pipeline of leaders in your organization to ensure long-term success for the organization and team members!

• Describe why a succession plan is important, but not all you need.
• Apply three keys to building a leadership pipeline.
• Outline the biggest reasons leadership development fails in too many organizations.
• Develop a plan for developing the leadership pipeline in your organization.
