S1E9: Building A Leadership Culture That Delivers An ROI

Maeve describes a comprehensive leadership development program for emerging leaders, which involves a selective two-year cohort process where participants were nominated and had to be actively engaged in learning and growth.-She emphasizes the importance of proactively preparing young professionals for leadership roles, recognizing that technical skills do not automatically translate to effective leadership.-Her approach involves customized training with third-party experts, involving executive stakeholders, and creating communities of practice to ensure continuous learning and accountability.Key advice includes:1) Leadership development is crucial, with companies needing to recognize and invest in potential leaders through intentional programs that go beyond traditional training.2) Proactive talent management is important, noting that good leaders should prevent surprises like employee resignations through consistent communication and development.3) Focus on specialized leadership programs that are selective, involving executives directly, and tracking long-term success through metrics like promotions and career progression.Follow Maeve Maguire on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/maevemaguiremte/
