Learn how to adapt your programs to tough times.

Many organizations have been scaling back their leadership development initiatives with the difficult economy. Learn how one organization has adopted its programs to both meet critical cost-cutting targets and yet meet the development needs of its managers. Learn more about this creative approach to leadership development and its lessons for your organization. In addition, CEO scientist Jay Conger will share critical insights into the leadership requirements for tough times.

Discover how "Collective Leadership Development" can increase your organization's leadership effectiveness!

The last two decades of leadership development have focused on developing individual leaders. Have these organizational investments paid off? Is leadership an individual activity?

Recent studies suggest the focus on individuals has been too narrow to produce strong results. This seminar will explain how to overcome the shortcomings of the old model of individual development. Shared leadership experts Jay Conger, Susan Resnick West, Trina Soske, Michael Markovits, and Craig Pearce will guide you through the evolving terrain of collective leadership development and show you how to refocus your organization's leadership development efforts around collective leadership development.

In this seminar you will learn

  • What collective leadership is
  • Why development approaches focused on the individual have fallen short
  • Why collective leadership development approaches have great potential for increasing leadership effectiveness
  • How to rethink leadership as a collective activity
  • The challenges and critical steps to undertaking collective leadership development programs
  • How to design collective leadership development programs
  • How to deploy action learning projects that harness collective development
  • How IBM has deployed executive education programs to emphasize collective development
