As global work and workers become more 
mobile and skilled, companies need to 
win and develop talent wherever it may be

Educate 
about 
generational 
differences, 
Look for 
Natural 
connections 
Prepare your 
people for the 
future 
Forget 
Experience, 
Focus on 
Vision
STRONG LEADERSHIP & CLEAR VISION 
Leadership style and vision consistently 
rate above issues of personality 
and experience
STRONG LEADERSHIP & CLEAR VISION 
Important to connect vision with the 
employees’ work and skills, and understand 
how it contributes to the company’s success
GENERATIONAL DIVERSITY

diversity is a part of the development program 
and critically important to ensure business 
success

To create strong leaders you need to give them 
a solid grounding in what makes the different 
generations tick
PREPARE, TRAIN & DEVELOP 
Strong desire for skills enhancement that will 
benefit both employers and individuals
Why do we spend so 
much to develop our 
people? We invest in 
them and then they 
leave us! What happens 
if we don’t, and 
they stay? 
PREPARE, TRAIN & DEVELOP
PREPARE, TRAIN & DEVELOP 
It is not just about promoting employees, 
but also providing people with the knowledge

Developing people to compete in the global

today business leaders must master
