Demands On Leaders Are Increasing, Business Challenges Are Growing in Complexity

Corporate University Xchange is forming a cohort of executives responsible for leadership development to study these new trends in leadership development to help practitioners discover how to:

  • How to change mindsets of senior executives about the purpose and form of leadership development, and foster commitment and support for the new approach
  • How to select important and significant challenges that leaders will work together to solve, and to structure an appropriate learning and problem-solving framework around the challenges, rather than around personal leadership skills
  • How to identify the right thought leadership and activities that will bring leaders along to a new shared understanding, and to a set of problem-solving skills they can apply together
  • How to help leaders have the right kinds of conversations that are essential to any business transformation
  • How to identify and avoid the pitfalls that could undermine the power and effectiveness of these new programs.

The study will include in-person discussions with practitioners who have implemented these types of programs successfully to uncover philosophies, critical success factors, priorities and timelines.

Leadership Development Innovations Prepare Leaders for An Uncertain Future Marketplace

While many companies are retrenching in the economic crisis, some are using leadership development program to move their companies to a more offensive posture.

There's a New Way

This new brand of leadership development moves away from teaching individual leaders new sets of skills, and toward developing a new way for leaders to work together to solve significant business challenges. Companies using these approaches don’t need to prove an ROI because their leadership programs are transforming their companies, solving problems and allowing leaders to learn their way forward - and they say the benefits are immeasurable.

In this new approach, leaders are learning and mentoring each other as they take on tough challenges, and are developing new ways to keep up with rapid changes in marketing, purchasing, supply chain theory, emerging markets, and sustainability.

CorpU is studying these new approaches in leadership development with a series of private webinars, case studies and tools for planning leadership development programs.
