Building sustainable leadership is a top concern for most organizations. Frontline managers have a particularly broad leadership responsibility, but 60% of them receive no training for their leadership roles. In this webinar, business, leadership, and learning experts explain the importance of developing frontline leaders and how high-engagement learning can efficiently develop critical leadership capabilities for first-time and incumbent managers. Speakers also explore how new technologies help make leadership training more personalized, social, collaborative and experiential—turning any work setting into a learning space. Real-world examples illustrate how leaders can integrate their new skills into current work tasks to improve speed to proficiency and impact.
Audience Takeaways:
Importance of frontline manager development for solving today’s business challenges
Role of leadership development at each organizational level in driving business strategy
How to facilitate the transition from peer to first-time leader and key considerations at that stage
How high engagement learning can accelerate leadership development, particularly for first-time managers
