"Creating a Consistent Leadership Language Worldwide"

Session topics include, but are not limited to:

The interconnectivity of global operating units, as companies continue to expand internationally and have a dispersed workforce, underscores the need for a common methodology to developing leaders. Often, however, leadership development remains separate within each business segment and therefore lacks cohesion across the enterprise. Best-in-class companies have found ways to execute on leadership development strategies globally, resulting in stronger, more consistent leaders worldwide.

This panel will address how three leaders have successfully rolled out global leadership initiatives, and each will discuss their strategic approach in:

• Recruiting and Selection
• Onboarding
• Learning and Development
• Measuring progress and results
