1. Designs Needed for New Leadership Development Models.
2. Learning During the Summer - More, Less or Different?
1. Designs Needed for New Leadership Development Models: Each day, I am interviewing key leadership authors as we ramp up to LeadershipDev 2011 (Las Vegas in 2 weeks). This Friday, Betsy Myers and I will do video interviews with Tom Peters and David Gergen, focusing on new approaches and requirements for leadership development as our workforce, business structures and career expectations change.
It is interesting to note that the conversations are not focusing on Content. There is a load of great content out there. What seems to be more critical is DESIGN. How are organizations creating new blends of content, context, coaching, stretch assignments, 360 Feedback, online collaboration and time with C Suite leaders as they update and extend their leadership development approaches?
We invite your organization to join in this unique conversation. There are a few spaces open at LeadershipDev 2011 (June 13 & 14) and reasonable flights and hotel rooms. Join over 110 senior leadership development colleagues as we imagine an evolving set of Learning Designs for the next chapter of leadership development. Details at http://www.leadershipdev.com
2. Learning During the Summer - More, Less or Different? As the weather evolves here in the Northeast, thoughts turn to summer. I’d like to pose a simple question to Learning Trends Readers:
What is different about your organization’s learning/training activities during the summer months?
Do you do more classroom, less face to face, longer institutes, development experiments or other changes? Could you take a minute and send me a quick note to emasie@masie.com with a few lines about how, if at all, your learning activities change as the summer starts? We’ll summarize and share back in a few days.
Yours in learning,
Elliott Masie
