No CEOs Allowed! Selling the Value of Leadership Development to the C-Suite

No CEOs Allowed! Selling the Value of Leadership Development to the C-Suite

You know it, others know it, our profession knows it… Leadership Development (LD) done well advances strategy and provides enormous return on investment. So why is it so hard to get C-Suite leaders on board? Why do execs limit LD budgets, but spend so much more on telephone systems, new carpet, or leaving a poorly performing leader in place (when even that one person’s salary, reinvested smartly in LD, could literally change the course of an organization’s business performance)? Join Traci Clayton, Ph.D., Owner of Insight from the Outside as she leads you and your HR/OD/LD colleagues in a candid discussion and engaging learning forum about how to turn your biggest frustrations into your most exciting opportunities.

You will discover:

1. New approaches to telling the ROI story in order to enlighten and engage your senior leaders around the value proposition for LD.
2. How to turn LD from a line-item ‘expense’ into a no-brainer ‘strategic investment’ that C-Suite executives will prioritize for years to come.
3. How to show execs the ways that LD is a strategic lever to accelerate change initiatives, build cross-functional collaboration, fill the talent pipeline and support your succession plans.
