Description
Most learning happens on the job which means that the workplace is where most talent is created and destroyed. And yet most leaders are not trained how to develop talent. Coaching workshops are ubiquitous, but they are just a starting point for building talent. This workshop turns best practices in leadership development, executive coaching, and talent management into a simple, actionable models for building talent and human potential.

It is a guide to building talent more strategically; matching the right people with the right development opportunities; and building individual, team, and company talent.
