Next week:
- Dear TLW–
I have been enjoying your weekly podcasts! Though I’ve been in the training and development field for awhile, I have found thru your discussions, news articles, tips and more, that I’m not staying as current as I should! And that this “old dog” may need to learn or refresh some of his old tricks!With that said, the article that Robin referenced last week titled “Leadership Training Gains Urgency Amid Stronger Economy” from The Wall Street Journal hit home. Our managerial “pipeline” is thin, and our senior management recognizes this…especially as the economy improves. We are worried that we may not have the bench strength needed. What are you seeing relative to “emerging leader” programs within organizations? Where should an organization start?
