Goal #1

As a training leader in the leadership development arena your #1 goal is to ensure that when the next leadership need arises you can provide a fully prepared resource to fill that need. Agreed?

The emerging leader – anyone from the first time manager to the person vying for the CEO role, is an elusive creature. The challenges are huge but developing these resources is crucial. Click here for a typical emerging leader scenario.

This one hour workshop will explore:

• 7 Essentials for Emerging Leaders (you receive a copy of the associated video-enhanced e-book)
• Ways to engage these leaders that go beyond your leadership university
• Simple retention strategies
• The measurement of effectiveness – all four levels of Kirkpatrick’s model using a case study of an ELCircle – The Development Hub for Emerging Leaders early adopter.

Here is a short preview video:

Note: The entire web seminar is devoted to your learning and interaction. However, participants who schedule a 1 hour meeting to discuss how the ELCircle Early Adoption Program can assist their organization receive a copy of the book Training on Trial by Jim and Wendy Kirkpatrick.
