How to Promote Without Breaking Your Best People

Your best individual contributors aren’t automatically your best future leaders. Yet organizations continue to promote subject matter experts based on what made them successful in their current roles, then expect them to lead people without developing the skills leadership requires. As the way we work evolves, our approach to building leaders must evolve with it. In this session, you'll explore a practical framework for identifying leadership potential, preparing subject matter experts to lead, and building confident managers who help people and the business thrive.
