As a leader you have a role in helping your organization achieve talent sustainability—the ability to continuously attract, develop, and retain people with the capabilities and commitment needed for current and future organizational success. Individual leaders can have a significant amount of influence over the development of organizational talent. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to achieve this is the talent conversation—a way of building on relationships that are based on rapport, collaboration, and mutual commitment in order to help the individuals you lead improve performance, focus development, and reach positive outcomes.
In this session you will learn:
- Four Types of Talent Conversation
- How effective talent conversations support your organization
- A development framework of assessment, challenge, and support
- How to prepare for and deliver effective talent conversations
Audience: Human resources professionals and individual leaders responsible for identifying, developing, and guiding talent in their organizations.
Maximizing the Value of the Webinar
- Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
- Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
- Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
