It’s Nonya business What My Business Is!

Presentation/Talk Disclaimer
Leadership is a broad and evolving discipline that has many definitions and perspectives. If you were to do a query on the topic you would literally find thousands of definitions, approaches and studies supporting and dis-proving each distinct concept.
Among the over-arching ideas are NeuroLeadership, Primal, Authentic Leadership, Corporate and Non-Profit Leadership, Citizen-based leadership, etc. etc.
With this talk we will discuss approaches, recommendations and practices to help begin to create a leadership development based program. This presentation is meant to give insights into these ideas as we all should be aware that there is no one silver bullet. Each organization will need to define what outcomes and goals should be accomplished.
* When attending this session understand that the slide order is a guide and may not be followed as the needs of the audience may move in various directions. I cannot guarantee that after leaving this session that you will receive all the answers. What I can guarantee is that you will leave with at least one practical idea on how to begin and/or ReThink your Leadership Development efforts!
Enjoy!

Getting to know: Expectations

Some stuff we already know?

WHY LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Talent… finding it and keeping it -- is the biggest potential workforce obstacle to achieving growth. 51% cited talent in key skill areas as a workforce challenge that could hinder growth. 49% cited the lack of succession planning as a top challenge. * 2010 survey of 700 companies by global professional services company Towers Watson

3 Steps

Choose VS.

Why do we want Leaders?

Increase Performance? 1. Performance Planning 2. Performance Coaching 3. Performance Evaluation 4. Performance Outcomes Performance Management

DDI Study
Low satisfaction with effectiveness of leadership development
Ineffective development impacts current leadership quality & future bench strength
Leadership skills for the future are not the same as the past . Leaders aren’t effective in those skills
* Summary of DDI’s 2011 Global Leadership Forecast survey of 2600 organizations in 74 countries. Nearly 1,900 HR professionals and 12,500 leaders participated.
4. Development approaches: Classroom still at the top
5. Development only part of the equation for high quality leadership
6. The role of management is still in yester year mode
7. Higher Quality Leadership = Superior Business Performance

LOOK AT DATA?

Organizations with the highest quality leaders were 13 X more likely to outperform their competition in key bottom-line metrics (i.e. financial performance). Comparison : When leaders reported current leadership quality as poor, only 6 % of them were in organizations that outperform their competition .

Right leaders in the right roles
Growing leaders is Key!
Bolster Succession Efforts
Change the way you think about the role of Leadership
What efforts should focus on…

Get to the point… What to think about for a Leadership Development Program
A. Evaluate:
Assess the Goal of the program  Why?
Assess the Goals of potential stakeholders  Why?
B. Identify LD Candidates
Succession Planning  
HIPO Non-Managers  
HIPO Level  
* Succession Plan, Nominations vs. Open to all
C. Real-World Application:
Using stories for application
Business case studies (inside and outside),
Speakers (internal and external) vs. Experiences

I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it; it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation . — Warren Bennis
