Challenge

Today's generation of management leaders marches steadily towards retirement, yet organizations are already hard pressed to find qualified replacements. Talented people are in short supply, and potential managers who are available for future leadership roles only possess five to 10 year's experience. One way to prepare for this looming leadership crisis is to help frontline employees take on larger roles as they grow and develop with the organization. Not only can you “future proof” against a mass exodus of experienced leadership, you're able to retain vital institutional knowledge plus attract and groom promising employees.

Solution

FranklinCovey's Leadership Foundations workshop prepares emerging leaders to take on significant roles and responsibilities in the future. Participants gain skills to improve trust and influence with peers and superiors, link their work to a clear and compelling team purpose, implement a system for executing on critical priorities, and leverage the talents of peers and co-workers to achieve unprecedented results.

About the Course
